Hmmm, to interview, I trained in England, low hours modular and not from OAT/ Cabair/ Jerez etc.. infact my flight school doesn't even exist any more. No recommendations there as far as I know...

Good luck everyone!!

Tom.

"I also found out that the only way a low hours modular or integrated pilot to get an interview is thru a recommendation from your FTO ( either OAT, Cabair & Jerez )"

What a load of tosh!!

Let me put it this way!

If you have recently finished or are about to finish your integrated or modular training at either OAT, Cabair or Jerez the only way to get an interview is thru a recommendation for your FTO.

Agh I see what you are saying, there lies the risk with these respected outfits eh. They are all well and good if you the student are good and get recommendations. But the fact that an individual does not get a recommendation from them must by implication damn them to the scrapheap!! Worth considering before you invest in one of these schools then.

I think the FTO's are hoping that the fact that airlines are recruiting direct for them will far out way the possible negative aspects of not being recommended.

I think BACX should have given an indication of when the interviews are likely to be because people have commitments etc, and after all the efforts we go through to get to this stage we do not want to miss out.

I have a 2 week vacation abroad booked soon, I am now hesitant to go!

I got the e-mail as well today. Not getting my hopes up as it as it seems loads of others have received same e-mail and heard nothing from BACX.

Nice timing though, as I've just been offered a cushy job flying twins on aerial survey/mapping.

Buzz

ps, 28 years old, modular, 550 hours, mostly SEP on aerial survey work.

pps, my application number was 00630 I think.

For those guys who got emails yesterday, just out of interest what number application were you? Just wondered how far through the 1300 they had got.

Thanks,
