Yes I will, don't want to wait around for a third missed call....it's difficult answering my phone at work. Fingers crossed it is them and it's good news.

Hopefully they give you a range of start dates to choose from so you can still go on holiday.

Hey all I just found out that I got the BFO job at Gatwick yay! Is anyone already there? What hours do you work? And does anyone know what the AHW % is? Thanks!

I am a bfo at Gatwick. We recently started new shift pattern so you do 4 x 10 and half hour shifts and if they are nights you get 4 days off after them. The current ahw for a officer is 43%

Hey, Heddwyn
What happens after early/day shifts, don't Officers get four days off also?

Oh, and does the initial couple of weeks BF-training take place at Gatwick or in Croydon and Feltham?

Just a quick update its been 54 days since my sc clearance was submitted and today my clearance was granted and I have a start date. Its been a long process but I suppose the moral of the story is it will all come right at the end it all just takes time. Hope all those who are waiting get their clearance through quickly

I applied for the role AIO, at Heathrow, and I was given 3 choices for start dates. The first was too soon, as I still have to give at least a months notice, the second was perfect, and the third was too far away.

Does anyone know if our references are contacted during the pre-employment checks or once the security link is submitted?

I'm still waiting for a security link and none of my references have been contacted yet.

I submitted my forms to CSR for Gatwick BFO about 3 weeks ago for pre-employment checks, etc.

me toooo!!! I am getting so impatient waiting!! I don't think my managers have been contacted as they've not said anything

Thought I was alone in this process so really glad to have found this forum...

I applied for BFO Heathrow position in sept2013

Online test oct2013

Interview dec2013

Recommendation and medical a few weeks later dec2013

Then nothing......... SC link about a week ago and now app in progress... So it's been 8 months almost

It's been such a long process, hopefully this final stage isn't too long. I'm not really sure what happens next so wouldn't mind any info if anyone can let me know.

Hi all,

Ahh wicked news so happy for you! My security clearance status has changed from 'in progress' to completed' today so hopefully I will have some good news aswell.
