Just to confirm what has been said already:
Dear Person X.
Thank you for your interest in applying as a pilot to bmi. Interest in this position has been very high and accordingly, all our assessment centres are fully booked until January 08.
We will however hold your details on our database for a period of 9 months and revert should your qualifications and experience level match our recruitment criteria within that period.
Kind regards
bmi pilot recruitment
It's a glitch. Sadly. So there goes that little morale rise we had yesterday!
