- To celebrate the launch of our new Speedbird Pilot Academy scheme, we sat down with Emma Raducanu and British Airways Training Standards Captain, Jess, to bust some of the myths surrounding what you need for a chance to qualify as our next Cadet Pilot.

Would be a dream to apply, just finished my A-Levels. I started my PPL on a Cessna 152 when I was 16 but soon after discovered I have a colour vision deficiency. It's probably the most crushing feeling I'll ever experience. The rules are so unfair on it, can only hope for the day they become less strict in the UK like they are in other parts of the world :(
I'll add a bit extra on - It sucks because I have zero problems day to day. I even travelled up to Scotland to sit a more advanced CAD test which the CAA accept. That too was unsuccessful, they described how I might struggle recognising the navigation lights of aircraft etc, yet ironically on the travel home, this was no problem, and it never has been! I really believe it's something that isn't talked about enough, the rules are so outdated. Technology has advanced so much now we have full glass cockpits. Something that sums it up for me is, military pilots are allowed to fly with nightvision goggles which block out basically every colour there is, yet me, who is unable to see a very very specific shade of red on a paper colour book test, is completely banned from obtaining my full medical.
that sucks man. did you think about obtaining a glider license? i assume the rules might differ and your slight vision problems wont be a problem. try it!
@@tomaskabele4813 hey bud. I’m still continuing my PPL. I’ll be able to fly normally, just not at night.
@@kp___pk Always worked since a pretty young age so always had money there from that. My parents also helped significantly. Now I'm 18 and earning more, I pay for it all myself.
Hi bro. May i know how bad it is your color vision. I failed the ishihara test but only a few.
Its my dream to fly for you. I am going from EGLL-KLAX on 29/3/24 BAW283 and coming back on 13/4/24 KLAS-EGLL BAW274 I think. I cant wait! I hope to become a British airways pilot!
BA is a good airline!! I have flown from Dulles/ Washington DC to London Heathrow back in 1987 and I have flown on a 747
Why did you stop? What airline you use nowadays?
@@AviBhosale-kh8im I haven’t flown in a long time
❤one of the best airlines in the World❤
Wish I could have applied but my birthday is just out☹️
I spent 18 years strapped to a seat lol... great at the time as a young "person" but don't forget you're one medical examination away from losing your licence... I was told always have a plan B... I know young pilots who have degrees in engineering even law etc.. something they could fall back onto if "nature" intervened,,,,, enjoy the sun sets and sun rises !
I love British airways ❤❤❤
Me too
Absolutely TOP TOP TOP ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💎🌹
Do BA sponsor her tennis career?
Dear *****,
Thank you for completing our testing for the role of Speedbird Pilot Academy. We greatly appreciate the time and effort you've put in.
Unfortunately, we've decided not to progress your application on this occasion. We appreciate this may be disappointing news.
Should you wish to try again for the same or a similar role, you will need to wait six months from the date of your assessment. However, you can apply for a different role at any time.
Thank you once again for your interest in joining British Airways.
Best wishes,
**** *****
Talent Acquisition Manager
Someone explain what this means because I tried to email the British Airways and it says donotreply.
@calebalbuquerque5519 BA are saying that after the stages of application you've done, whether it's the situational judgement aspect, or the following tests, that you weren't successful enough to progress to the next stage. But if they do the scholarship again further down the line, you are free to reapply.
@@banksy1983 I believe the deadline for the SJT test is over so i am free to share the video of how I answered the test. If British Airways disagrees with this and it is copyright please inform me and I will take the video down.
@@calebalbuquerque5519It means you weren't successful
Are they going to do the scholarship in 2025? No info so far on the website I guess
Great video!
Want to fly the 777 for british airways
@BritishAirways proud to say I've applied, and due to have a video assessment. Here's to hopefully being in that seat in the sim, soon enough.
good luck!! i didn't get through the maths section. 💪
out of curiosity, have they already sent you the info for your video assessment or are you just assuming as it’s the next step?
@@AmelyaPinto already done it
@@banksy1983 what did the video part contain? Just interview questions or actual tasks?
@jamie4395 well it may differ for others but I had 2 tasks to record, rather than interview. Think interviews would be further down the line
hard landing that
I wanted to like this advert but it's a struggle after having just watched BA's 1989 'Face' advert (winking eye in the desert/Tom Conti). The latter was inspiring, upbeat, epic. This latest version is... well... predictably bland and formulaic. But good luck BA. I hope you can consistently get back to where you once were.
I love @Emma Raducanu❤
First:) and first like and first view:)

I love British Airways ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I paid for my husband to do the simulators at BA years ago. The instructor pilot was female and had been grounded due to pregnancy (way to go BA before diversity was a buzz word!) . It was a brilliant experience as a “passenger” and he thought landing in Hong Kong was the best experience all lined up by the instructor. She made me realize how much a pilot earns their salary at touchdown and every time I land today I think about it.
That's still standard practice across the industry btw
yeah that's not discrimination.. That's a medical requirement implemented by CAA/EASA. As soon as you declare yourself pregnant, you are not allowed to legally fly. It's not BA.
My height is 157, I can become a pilot
Emma will probably ace the pilot training course if she does decide to become one after her tennis career is over.😂
Gone downhill since the VC-10 and Trident left the fleet.
Bird can't fly if there is rain. Burn need oksigen for mechine. Oksigen for plant. Fotosintesa. I am animal scientist none degree. Biologi scientist. I am afraid to fly. Like ronald koeman? Footbal player. November rain guns n roses song.
British Airways are terrible, better to fly with its parent airline Qatar,
Qatar is not BA’s parent airline. Qatar is a minority shareholder in IAG, BA’s parent company.
Parent airline???? Are ye dumb - btw qatar literally band reviewers for bad reviewers
Whos the chick. Model ?
bro its emma raducanu - a famous tennis player lmfao
@@joshuacollins3078I mean it´s justified not knowing who she is, Because She has only won US open in 2021, and that was right after Covid where a lot of things were different. And she is now in 285th place, so shes not terribly successful. of course partly because of injury but still.
British Airways an overrated airline and not the best .
No
Read the news lately The naughty British Airways pilot 🧑✈️
Oh ok, fair enough
@@TheLimitlessAviation Thank you …. Only a comment 👨✈️
British Airways still commands the respect of those it serves. Evidently, you’re not part of the target market. Take your criticisms elsewhere.
I need to join this program 🥲
