To those who didn't get on the sponsorhip scheme, the main thing is to keep plugging away. Out of the 3 offshore companies, there's a reasonably regular requirement for pilots due to new contracts, or people leaving. The experience requirements for the applicants vary quite a bit as well depending on the availability of pilots, so don't be put off if you didn't make it this time.
A lot of it is to do with supply and demand - which means it's down to luck if you happen to apply at a time when there is an urgent need for more pilots.
Anyway, best of luck to everyone who wasn't lucky this time.
