Not 30 minutes after the interview which was a wholly pleasant affair, I was told I had been successful. I am still smiling now! I know I would have been happy to take any job to get me on the first rung of the ladder, but I really cannot believe my luck to have been offered a position with such an airline, somewhere where I hope I will be for a long time.

I confirm that you're really lucky. I'm recently type rated on the 737 and here is what I received last week :
Dear Mr ***
Thank you for your letter and CV.
Whilst flyglobespan is expanding and we have interviewed and recruited recently, we were looking for pilots, specifically for our Scottish bases and those who were succesful were either commercially qualified and experienced pilots, in jet or heavy turbo-prop operations, or those already having a 737 type rating with experience.
We have now completed recruitment for the winter 2006 / Spring 2007 period and have a pool of candidates to cover our anticipated needs till Spring 2007.
Thank you for your CV and I wish you well.
Regards
Capt. ***
Fleet Manager B737
