That said, the process won’t differentiate between those able to self-fund or not, and it shouldn’t necessarily be a block to someone taking part.
Video Interview stage closes today, I enjoyed taking part and thought it was a pretty novel way of doing things. Fingers crossed my performance was enough to see me through.
What are BME groups? Why are we all now labelled as being part of a particular group? Surely all that matters is whether you can turn up to work in the correct uniform and fly a plane safely and preferably on time from point A to point B?
