Well guys, what can I say.
I get home from work to a message from my flatmate telling me to check out this thread as the March course was going to be TWR/APP only. Cool, fantastic. After over a year and a half of waiting I just want a start date! I then open a letter from NATS telling me my course has been cancelled and I might get a course in Jun or Sep 05.
As I've already handed in my notice at work - HR confirmed me on the Mar 05 course last August - I've now got to try and persuade them to have me back or find some sort of temporary work for 3 or 6 months.
Apparently a course of 36 was whittled down to 11, but there was no fair system such as date of application used, it was just names out of a hat!
So if any of you guys still have any doubts about whether you'd prefer area, feel free to do me a favour and take a later course so I can have your spot!!
