514, How did you get on with Heathrow?

Isn't it funny, how if you sit in a library and scream, everyone looks at you and tuts...but do the same thing on an aircraft and everyone joins in!

I thought very well! Got a phone call to say needed me in for a medical straight away turned out i've passed. But i'm now on a waiting list where i have to attend a medical every six months until a vacancy arises. 400 miles every six months just to be told sorry no job yet. This selection process must have been introduced by the same crazy person that thought of the retained duty scheme.

Hello 514 member
Ref your entry above, did you apply to BAA in early 2006, attend the examinations/group exercise etc near Gatwick etc ?

I only ask as I did the same and was invited back to attend the physical & interview in June.

Do you know how may have been successful and are on the waiting list ? Did you or do you get any choice ref which airport ? What plans do you have for accomodation if you are offered a post at Heathrow seeing as you are based in Devon ?

Regards

Yes i applied in January 2006. I also attended Gatwick for fitness and interview. I have been successful and am currently on a waiting list. My dad lives 12 miles away from Heathrow so about 3 hours traveling time. However i am a retained crew commander and might transfer if a position ever becomes avaliable.

Out of interest how many people bothered to note the title of this thread, more so that the 'interested in a career with them' individual got the employer's name entirely wrong!!!!.........British Airways?????????
BAA Airports are the employers of the RFFS and the owners of the airports. BA is a carrier who fly in and out.
Note BAA Airports, or BAA Ltd, is the name. BAA stands for BAA. It used to have British in the full word making up the acronym, but the acronym is no more at all, it is now the title.

excellent that sounds good to me, I was wondering does where you stay have an impact on if you will be accepted or not. Iam up in Edinburgh and would like to stay here but would be willing to travel down there all the time for the chnace of being in the fire service or even moving down there. Thats How much I want to be a Firefighter if anyone has any information on this I would be most grateful thanks.
