Chocksaway, regarding thomsonfly that's correct. They introduced a selection process for those coming from CTC just before I went to them, but in fairness it wasn't the full assessment, just an interview and aptitude tests (no sim ride or psychologist interview). They applied this retrospectively to those already doing their 6 month placement, so even those that had been proving themselves day in day out during line training still had to go back and pass an aptitude test to prove they could fly a plane!
