😂 First rule, never book anything that isn’t fully refundable.
I thought the first rule of ‘flight’ club was we don’t talk about ‘flight’ club? 👀😂 Good point though. |
If you book your hotels via hotlines, there is an £8 per person fee you can pay which enables last minute cancellation in the event you don’t make it onboard.

Hi everyone,
I was recently successful at the sim assessment, offered SH and put in the 320 pool. Does anyone have an idea on how long the pool is at the moment? Thanks |
~4 months depending on notice period

Currently excluding, so anticipate 6-7 months from successful to start date. Probably reducing now as DEP recruitment is open on the 320 again

Anyone can help me out what to expect in the video interview questions? And the whole assessment thank you

I’m as surprised at all this as I am at the fact BALPA didn’t see it fit to inform anyone - the latter beggars belief imho and is more shock than surprise.
Given how pretty much everyone in BA made a conscious decision to go out of their way and apply, mostly due to some desire to “serve”, it waters down that value. The assessment wasn’t a joke and most went to great efforts in writing those essays. I see the reps are trying to play it down as simply people being free to apply as they always were. If that’s the case and there’s nothing to see here, then what is the “deal” exactly, why are specific newsletters about it going out to pilots of DHL and how has a deal been struck yet simultaneously no change? This reminds me of the second officer announcement .. paraphrased as “it’s gonna be different so we had to inform you, but don’t worry there’s no difference”.. |
Question for those that have joined BA recently- do they make any effort to accommodate pre-booked leave where possible? Or is it just a case of you can bid for leave/swaps like everyone else and hope for the best? Trying to be realistic and assume the latter, but would be keen to hear if anyone had any luck getting dates approved for something like a wedding or family event.
Cheers P.S. for those asking about hold pool times, I've been swimming for over 6 months now and still waiting for the call (320 LHR). Heard of someone getting a Feb start date recently but they'd been in the hold pool since November last year. |

At Waterside the lady running the day told us to let them know as soon as possible, as leave cannot be taken in training and cannot be guaranteed after you're on the line. I'm reliably informed, however, that it's a level playing field. So who knows if you'll manage to luck out and get what you need |

Hopefully they start to reduce but then to do have the Speedbird entries to deal with as well. |
Thanks for the replies. I do vaguely remember it being mentioned at the presentation, but couldn't remember exactly what was said.
|
anyone can DM some info about the interview in Waterside
|
Are people who are successful at the long haul DEP selection put in the holding pool as well ?
Many thanks. |
everyone is put into the holding pool, even if it's only for half an hour

BA DEP Roadshow
Hello
Has anyone attended the Abu Dhabi roadshow lately and what topics used for Group exercise? Aside from Flight Capacity test will there be any further pilapt tests for experienced candidates? Cheers |
What’s life like on the A350? I’ve been told that there’s a lot of characters who may be hard to work with on the fleet?
