Hello.
Has anyone who applied to BA CityFlyer a while back applied to the NQPP for Euroflyer? It says that you can't apply to any BA family until after 6 months since being rejected from CityFlyer. I haven't applied myself, but I wondered if anyone had anyway?
Thanks and good luck to those applying!

Similar here. Applied end of July, got requested to do the video interview 10th August, completed the interview on Sunday (13th). Haven't heard back yet.. I'm sure they have plenty to get through!
I also heard that they won't be doing sim check for those who make it through to the end of the process. Can anyone else confirm? Makes a refreshing change!

I believe this is true. A recruitment spokesperson said something along the lines of your APS MCC report is used as a replacement for a sim session…

Hi frew198, How did you get on? Good news I hope so far!?
I also got an invite to the capacity tests in a couple of weeks. Any useful tips?
A couple of blogs I found said that skytest wasn't particularly representative, so I'm trying "pilotaptitudtest.com" for practice)....

Hi all, I've also got a date for the capacity test and wondered how everyone was preparing? Would be interested to hear feedback if anyone has done it already too.
Personally I've been using skytest but as above I've heard it isn't 100% accurate. It also seems to have a few glitches.
To answer some previous questions I actually had quite a long wait between completing the video interview and getting an invite, around 3 weeks. So if you're still waiting you may still be in the running!

Hi everyone! I can see the time from submitting recorded interview to hearing back seems to be varying between applicants.
Has anyone waited longer than 5 weeks? Getting slightly concerned/disheartened as I submitted my recorded interview on 24th July and still haven’t heard back. :cool:
Hopefully hear something soon! Do we know if unsuccessful emails have also been going out?
Thanks :)

I applied 2 days after the NQPP opened and progressed to the video interview quickly, then waited 3 weeks to be told ‘no thanks’
Not sure where I went wrong - I was confident I hit they key points & competencies, particularly having gone to one of the roadshows (after I did the interview) they explained what they want to see / hear which validated I was on the right lines.
Equally frustrating as I was in a ‘hold pool’ for assessments for BA CityFlyer but was told I had to withdraw for NQPP, which I did. CityFlyer now open again which I can’t apply to until 6 months after my video interview.
at the roadshow they indicated they wanted 18 NQPP/Whitetails in the next year which seemed low.
From what I’m hearing they have massively underestimated the CityFlyer requirements, hence why they are now recruiting again.

Capacity test went ok for me. I practiced using skytest (follow PFD TCAS, climb and descent calcs etc..). BA give you the formula to use.
just make the best of trying to fix the fuel and electrical issues when you can.
I prioritised tcas and climb/descent calcs.
Got an invite to the next stage interview.
But that was a month ago. Have been refreshing my profile literally ten times per day but still haven't seen any further dates become available to book.
Has anyone else found it equally tricky to find an interview slot?

Hey all, apologies for the disappearance, been busy training.
Also, my inbox still only allows for 1 single message at any time so I haven't been able to see any dm's.
I was fortunate enough to be selected as a whitetail for BAEF so I'll put some information here for anyone who wants it.
Some questions included:
What does CRM mean to you
how can you as a pilot/FO help BA be commercial?
Tell me how you've had to adapt your communication style?
Tell me about a time you've lead a team
Tell me about a time you've made a mistake and how you've learnt from it.
What do professional standards mean to you
How can you as a pilot contribute to the sustainability goals.
These are some of the noteworthy ones along with all the other typical interview question you expect.
They're interviewing you to see if they can sit in a cockpit with you for 12 hours straight, they know you'll be able to fly an A320, so be as confident as you can be, super enthusiastic about the opportunity to work for BAEF, and most importantly be as relaxed and easy-going as you can.
I hope this helps, and best of luck to you all!!

I passed the capacity test some weeks ago and have been invited for final assessment but still no dates available? Anybody else in the same boat? When I was invited for capacity test I could book on immediately. However, for final assessment I’ve been checking multiple times a day since I learned I passed.

Hi what software do you use to practice eagle test/ capacity test?
I think Skytest is the best one to use. It's a similar software to what BAs capacity test is like
CAVOKpilot
8th Apr 2024, 22:38
Skytest was useful but don’t become overly reliant on it. It’s good for getting an impression of what the test is like. It was worth the £60 odd spent on it just to get a grasp of what the test is about.
Yeah it gives an idea of the actual capacity test but there are still differences such as the descent calculations, electric checklist and priming the fuel pumps for a longer time

You will need to buy the circa. £90 UK pilot aptitude test package. Once in there it’s only one test, found within BA supplements, think it was called flight capacity test.
With that said, I believe a maths test has now also been introduced so will be worth having a look at those elements too.
all the best with it!

From what I understand, people who were successful in April are still waiting calls - that's just from speaking to others on this forum.

Assuming April people will be next - fingers crossed you get the news you're after soon!

Seems there are some delays due to training capacity at the moment. Some cadets are waiting a month or so between TR and base training. Won’t surprise me if we don’t hear anything by the end of the summer.
