Military Pilot Pathway
The Military Pilot Pathway is an exciting career pathway for experienced pilots from the Royal Air Force, Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Army Air Corps.
So, whether you are a reassuring voice on the end of a phone, a smile at the door, under a wing keeping the turbines spinning or landing us gently in far-flung places, a job at British Airways is yours to make.
British Airways Direct Entry Pilot – Military Pathway
The life of a commercial pilot is exciting, and you’ll be challenged every day to perform to the highest standards.
Joining our short-haul Airbus fleet or (dependent upon previous experience) joining one of our 4 long-haul fleets, your career path is never defined. Your lifestyle is important to us and with a huge variety of roles outside of flying, from training to recruiting the pilots of the future, there are countless opportunities.
Not only will you have the chance to further your career development within BA, but you’ll also have access to our competitive reward and benefits package.
Short-haul Fleet
Minimum of 500 hours of flying time on any military type
Long-haul Fleets
Minimum of 1500 hours of military flying time of which 500 hours or 100 sectors must be completed on a ZFTT qualifying aircraft
Previous military (or equivalent) flying experience within the last 3 years (fixed wing or rotary)
91m may submit an application but will be required to undergo a functionality check to confirm their ability to meet the requirements of the seating positions in the British Airways fleet of aircraft
A good level of physical fitness, and ability to satisfy the British Airways medical requirements
ICAO English Language Proficiency level 6
A valid passport (with minimum of 12 months before expiry date at time of joining) allowing unrestricted worldwide travel
Tattoos are permissible as long as they are not on the hands, face or head
UK CAA Class 1 flight crew medical (Military A1 status is acceptable at point of application but UK CAA Class 1 must be achieved prior to a job offer being made)
Applications are invited from QMPs who have already left, or are looking to exit the military within the next 18 months. Applicants who are successful at Stage 1 (online assessment) and Stage 2 (in-person assessment) may be made a conditional job offer with a mutually agreed start date up to 12 months in advance. Successful applicants will receive a company-funded type rating and will join British Airways on the Direct Entry Pilot payscale. Preference will be given to those that hold a current rating on the aircraft type. Moves to other fleets will be processed via the internal fleet move system and awarded on a seniority basis.
We are an equal opportunities employer and value diversity at British Airways. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, age, marital status, veteran status or disability status. Candidates who were not successful at initial screening, video interview, capacity testing or assessment centre stage can reapply for the pilot recruitment campaign after 6 months from their most recent assessment date. Please note, we have a limited number of long-haul positions available and therefore A320 remains our primary recruiting fleet.
Candidates in the hold pool will receive a maximum of 2 job offers. If a candidate turns down their second job offer, they will exit the hold pool and be required to reapply after 12 months and complete the entire selection process again.
It’s one of the reasons our rewards go far beyond a competitive salary.
From the day you join us, you’ll get access to brilliant staff travel benefits including unlimited basic and premium standby tickets on British Airways flights. You’ll also receive up to 30 discounted ‘Hotline’ airfares per year for yourself, friends, and family.
We encourage all those who work for us to consider opportunities right across our business to help you develop and progress.
Varied Roster Patterns (night stops, day trips and tours)
Company pension scheme (up to 15% employer contribution)
Eligible for extensive British Airways worldwide staff travel
Greater choice of 5 different fleet types (after initial freeze)
Life insurance benefits
Unlimited discounted airfares for your friends and family
Discounts at selected car hire, hotels, and retail stores
Private medical cover, dental and critical illness cover, technology scheme, Cycle to Work and Electric/Plug-in Hybrid car scheme
