How Does one go about getting a job with british Airways? any info would help

Try this to start with - ill tell you some of the requirements http://www.britishairwaysjobs.com/baweb1/?newms=info10

Try also searching here for BA recruitment threads http://www.pprune.org/forums/

You wish.

Probably the most racist airline out there. Unless your a rich english boy or finished Oxford you won't get a job. Sorry.

Look into BMI, Virgin or Brittania.

FWS, ignore Olympic, he is speaking utter drivel!

BA employ pilots, both male and female, from many countries worldwide. The basic requirements for employment are on the company website above (right to live and work etc).

It sounds to me as if Olympic was rejected at some point and puts it down to his nationality. Trust me, it is not a factor that will preclude you.

Having the requirements, passing the interview process and sim stages may result in failure, but it will not be a nationality thing.

You just have to look at UK plc to see how many people are welcomed in here - BA is no different.

PS not from a rich family, not educated at Oxford, not BA sponsored cadet but BA B747-400 captain.

I agree about Olympic just being bitter I really pay no mind to those replys
thanks for the info
Right to live and work--any way to get that besides marry someone for residency? Do they sponcer people or is it your responsibilty to get the right

edit........

In order; Only other way is if a close relative is originally from an EU country, although each country has it's own requirements on how close the relative has to be. No EU airline will sponsor you, that I know of. Certainly not BA, KLM, AF, etc.....

Actually I have never applied to BA, and never will. I dislike the country, spent a while doing my JARs. I went to school with a lot of English lads and they all tell me how horrible it is regarding the hiring process. They have the perfect "CANDIDATE", all the candidates for some odd reason all look the same, saw it first hand when I finished Oxford modular ground school ... they probably know if they will hire from the second they look at you. Profiling you could call it. Go for it, just don't be disapointed. There are plenty of airlines in the UK to fly for.

...But there's only one that counts.

Ryan Air??? :D
