Can I still apply for a Direct Entry First Officer position if I will have 500 hours by the time of starting?

Hi! I have approx. 450 hours on type, can I still apply for the Direct Entry position? I should have 500 Hours within a month. Many Thanks!

    Hi.


    Thanks for contacting us. We require you to have 500 A320 hours before we can accept your application for our short haul campaign. We look forward to hearing from you when you reach 500 hours.


    Best wishes

    Hi -


    Since Kate responded to your question, we have opened a new campaign for Second Officers where you can apply with fewer than 500 A320 hours, however it is up to you whether you would prefer to apply now and remain on the campaign for lower hours pilots or wait a little while and apply as a First Officer.


    You can view the new vacancy here: A320 Type Rated Second Officer at British Airways.


    Best of luck and we look forward to seeing your application very soon!
