Someone asked about reapplying at the end of my day one!! It got a chuckle after the computer tests. We were advised the maths and verbal testing results are "good" for 12 months and hence the 12 month rule for those attending day one.

Has anyone had the good/bad news from their Day 1 yet?

Down in front 15th May 2015 11:40

I just had my day 2 email come through :)

Does anyone have a brief timeline or course structure for the new joiner DEP A320 type rating course at BA? It's my understanding that most training is being conducted at CTC in Southampton at the moment as opposed to Cranebank? Do the company provide HOTAC and duty pay as you're essentially not in base, or is it just base pay throughout training until you hit the line? Finally, is groundschool essentially Monday - Friday 9-5, or are the hours more irregular? I've heard sims are mainly being done at Gatwick for the 320 at the moment?

Just trying to work out arrangements for the family before I start in the summer. Many thanks in advance.

Down in front, how long was it that you waited to hear?

Down in front 15th May 2015 18:46

4 days.......

nick14 16th May 2015 14:33

Thanks,

How did you feel you did with the verbal reasoning? I didn't manage to get through too many questions. I felt fairly good about the rest of the day.

Out of interest for those being contacted to reapply early what stage did you get to previously?

Stage 2, out of interest to superpilot, is he the man or his dog?

Based on my experience (ref post 1584) I was invited to initial assessment. Email received today, applied last Tuesday.
Surprising.

I noticed to my surprise around half way through how short I was on time so prioritised the passages with the most questions - I skipped 1 or 2 passages I think so 4-5 questions in total.

Have many bus rated guys from last year recieve s the early invite? Any chances non rated from last year may get an early reapplication?

Hi,

I applied last year and managed to get through to the interview. I didn't pass it.

However a few days ago I received an email inviting me to take part in the process this year, I re-applied and I got an invite to Day 1 but only to sit some tests, not all of them.

Anyone in the same situation? Which of those "selected" tests can I expect?

Thanks!

Are you Airbus rated mate?

VJW 19th May 2015 10:01

I failed day 1 last year so no hope for me, but I asked a mate who got to the sim...as of yet he hasn't heard back, but he knows people who have and they aren't 320 rated...

a-ricky-town 19th May 2015 10:27

I am airbus rated. So they are not calling people who failed day one? Only those who managed to get to the personal interview?

In my case hey said they knew it wasn't 12 months but they said they would like to invite me anyway.

If anyone knows how this "shortened day 1" looks like please post here or pm me.

Thanks for your help!

Regards

Hi

I failed the assessment last year and got invited for one with less that 12months

I had failed on day 1 but they still said I would only have to re sit a few tests, I presume the ones I failed...should here about them this week...

Harry palmer 19th May 2015 12:22

If this is the case has anyone who failed at the sim been contacted just to resit the sim?
