Word of advice.......NEVER APPLY TO FR ON THE NET.
Of all the pilots that i know that got into FR it was by personal recommendation and knowing the right people.
Not one of the 20 or so FR lads and lassies that I know got in with that rip off £50 fee.
In fact it would be interesting to see if anyone has and if not what explanation MOLLY has for it.
Things are still tight in the industry but i emplore you to hang on as long as you can before applying (and wasting £50) to FR.
I had an interview....sorry sermon by DD and didn't get in and thank God I didnt as I got a job a year later and paid nothing for my type rating.
Ok so I may not earn as much as a FR pilot but I dont owe £10-15-20,000 or what ever it is they are now charging and financially it is easy for me to move up the scale than leave a very well paid job in FR to join a lower payer because im not happy.
