Interview with BA A380/777 Captain

Hey,

So tomorrow I’m going to be speaking to a British Airways captain. He has over 25 years of experience. However, I’m going to be asking some questions. If anyone has any relating to recruitment to BA --> Salary/Benefits, let me know below.

Here is a list of questions I plan to ask:

  1. How old were you when you began flying?
  2. How did you get involved specifically with ba?
  3. How long did you fly the shorter range aircraft as a first officer before he progressed to captain on the bigger aircraft?
  4. Has he ever flown on the BA001 route to JFK?
  5. What is the salary like at BA?

This is all I have come up with so far. Do you guys think this is enough?

No, because BA001 is an A318 route from LCY-JFK.

That really is a rather personal question, don’t expect a detailed answer :)

But I must say i am rather envious of you. Enjoy :)

No, it isn’t. I’ve somehow gotten a thirty minute Q&A with him over the phone

Ask him to join Infinite flight and he’ll become best friends with Aernout.

From London, it stops at Shannon for refueling, and then to New York.

They are using A318 to Replacing Concorde on this route. and it stops at Shannon to refuelling (Like what @Sturmovik said).

That’s a funny point but I don’t think he is friends with every pilot 😂
