Blimey, I passed selection! Well done to all the guys I met at stage 4 on 29/03. Looks like we all made the grade!
It's probably still not sunk in properly yet for me. Just waiting on some stuff back from the medical before I have a proper celebration. Fingers crossed it all works out. Until all the papers are signed and I've resigned, I am not believing I'm there yet.
For those lucky enough to meet them at stage 4, Chris Clarke and Steve Billet are diamond geezers. Funny, smiling and really good at putting you at your ease. Stage 4 was awesome. Talk about saving the best to last. That alone is worth the selection fee. The sims are just so immersive. FS2004? Pah!
The only thing that's missing is a Gran Turismo style replay of my landing!
And the CAA medical staff are really nice too. They know all too well what that bit of paper means to the applicant. Well done to all those recently successful and best of luck to anyone going through the process, whatever stage you are at.
