Thanks to all for the invaluable help and encouragement here.
I first applied last year and got rejected after a poor performance on the CUT-E tests. Someone said - don't get disheartened show some commitment.
I did, I applied again a few months ago again when a new job wasn't quite working out the way it probably should have (all the usual private owner problems) and made it through to phase 3,
I was amazed at how varied the candidates were from guys who had been flying freight to young guys on regional turboprops and me, an experienced person in Biz Av. Not everyone makes it through and the focus is very much on making sure you're right for the company and the company fits you. It's a difficult process but preparation is definitely the key - have some good stories for your competence questions and expect to think on your feet. The sim was straight forward as were the tech questions.
Most importantly be yourself and be honest (still positive though!).
Got the good call the next day
I'm really looking forward to starting, what a great first experience to joining a company.
