      Future Pilot Programmer Interview

      22 Oct 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Heathrow, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at British Airways (Heathrow, England) in Mar 2015

      Interview

      Was invited to attend an assessment day held by FTE, one of BA's three approved training schools. The assessment day consisted of a competency interview, a group exercise, a mental maths test, computer based aptitude tests and other written tests based on reasoning. Thought the day was very long and tough. Despite me believing I failed, I was invited to attend another assessment at British Airways Waterside. Day 1 consisted of two written tests and another aptitude test, and Day 2 (if successful at Day 1) would have been one final interview. Didn't pass the day 1 assessments unfortunately.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      When have you taken a risk? Why BA? Tell me about yourself. Why is it important to have good communication skills?
