I had my interview in late April and have a starting date in July. When recruitment phoned to offer me the course date I hesitated momentarily but she said that if I didnt accept it I would have to wait until Jan 2008. I obviously accepted.
Japanair..... phone them immediately and ask. Surely they know if you have been accepted or not! Have you checked on their website for an e-mail incase it didnt copy to your private account or something. I cant understand it.
abzyyy........ I dont think the family/friend reference will speed up your getting on a course unless they have a contact in recruitment.
