Thanks for that tip ladyflyby - and I look forward to reading your updates, franco17. I really don't know what to make of SilverS***'s post; at the end of the day, this is just one person's opinion. The fact that it's a brand new airline has to be taken into consideration. I will remember what SilverS*** has said, but it has not put me off re-applying next year. I need to see what things are like for myself.
