I don't think the thing about East Mids has anything to do with it I'm pretty sure were all the same boat after all theyre only recruiting for one base!! If or when it comes to it (which I dont think it will) then it'll be everyone who ops out of East Mids I'd have thought?
Maybe if you went for senior crew, they might have already filled all the senior positions? Or maybe they've just overlooked your paperwork somewhere! Who knows....not like Brit to be unorganised though lol! Slow sometimes, but not unorganised!!
Let us know....Rich
