Pilot Jobs

Online application:

You’ll be asked about your motivation to join British Airways. Once you've done that, we may ask you to record answers to a series of interview questions so we can find out a bit more about you.

Technical assessment:

This is where we assess your ability to work under pressure and how you react to increasing workload with a computer-based test.

Group exercise:

Here’s your chance to show us how well you work in a team, using a scenario you may face in your day-to-day role as a pilot with British Airways.

Interview:

The moment where we can get to know each other, and for you to demonstrate you have what it takes to become a British Airways pilot.

Simulator:

An assessment of your performance in the flight simulator, currently the A380. You’ll then be put into a holding pool pending an offer of a start date.

Pre-employment checks:

We’ll conduct pre-employment and security checks; these include Criminal Record Checks (CRC) and full five-year employment checks. You’ll also be asked to share your medical forms and book your uniform fitting, security interview, and psychoactive substance test at our Waterside HQ.
