Hey Dannyc,
i guess just like everything else, out of 10,000, maybe only 5000 are eligible, and out of that maybe 2500 meet min. requirements, and so on so forth....but im guessing the # of applicants is growing by the day!
Every aviation forum on the net is talking about this!
But i do not understand your question? This is my theory: I think if your status changes to "under review" you are shortlisted. Otherwise it would just go blank (as someone mentioned, this means "on hold") or stay in the "applied" status and you'd recieve a rejection email!
IS there ANYONE here who's application status changed to "under review"
and then either
(a) changed to "blank" or
(b) got a rejection letter (after the application change to "under review")
If anyone did have (a) or (b) happen to them, this would prove my theory wrong! It would mean that even if your application status DID change to Under Review, you may still get rejected at this point!
Lets figure this out!
