Username should be Justwannabeapilot!!!!
Balboy ... whatever you do dont give up!!! I had exactly the same problem. When I initially phoned up my application hadnt been submitted a month after I sent it in on the website.
They submitted it manually and I later received an interview after badgering them with a few phone calls to find out the status of my application.
Did the assessment and passed and was offered a job!!!!!
Moral of the story like I said above : NEVER GIVE UP!!!
Good luck and PM if you want any help, tips, etc etc.
