Basically all you have to do is reach up and grab a handle which is located in a mock up overhead locker, then you also need to hold a handle on the wall and reach down diagonally to touch a mark on the floor. Provided you hit the minimum height requirement you will be fine.

They will also measure your height, and get you to strap in to a jumpiest and assume the brace position. They tell you exactly what to do and providing you're not extremely rotund you will pass this.

Hi,

I'm currently due to start in august but the email they sent me has 2 dates on it. First it says 'we have set your cabin crew initial course for august 20th' but then it says 'we propose your start date will be august 28th'. Can anyone tell me what these 2 dates actually mean?

The second question is: does the course run over weekends as well? (do we get sundays off?).

Thanks x

First date Is when you start your 6 days EASA course. After you pass it BA will hire you and you will start your 4 week training second date is when you actually will start getting paid.
Course can run over the weekends as well. You will get 2 days off each week but they are random, not necessarily weekends

Does anyone know how much of Gatwick training is actually done at Gatwick, I've heard it's roughly two weeks but wanted to check if this is true.

Hi guys!!

Hoping someone can help me out. I have an assessment with BA soon, but I have an American accent. Will this count against me? Do you need a British accent to qualify? Sorry for the silly question! Thank you so much!
