You will find that OAA mainly favour their intergrated cadets and not the modular ones.
you have to invest and go into the sim for extra hours and be doing that regularly to avoid last minute panic
as you do get older it takes time for sure but i disagree that its impossible - the assessors are looking at learning curve - so if you are older and have extra practice - you will be on the mark to say the least and then its luck on the day.....
keep trying and keep going- it is a good market and RYR are seriously wanting cadets - there are options overseas also - don’t knock any opportunity
