I also got the feeling that the staff here aren’t the most friendly (but could be wrong). It’s also a European thing - people are very cold and direct. If you’re from the UK or US you might be in for a shock.
Hi, Bartolini, as other ATO in Europe have a lot of requests (overbooking) so it's normal to have a selection process to include the BEST students in their ATO...to avoid to waste time with people without the correct approach to the professional training. If you want to apply to one of the best ATO in Europe you have to pass the selection process...it's a standard in Europe, maybe not in your country, welcome!
About the people...as in any place in the world...some people smiling a lot...other less...
