Its been a while since I was on PPrune, but I thought I would post this anyway.
The previous info I received appears to be incorrect according to a few of the peeps I know who went thru sim and interview during December last year. They assumed (as did I) that they had been processed out of the November applications. They have since found out that they had, in fact, been pulled out the the previous round of applications (April?)
Sometimes the rumours arn't true, but I guess that's why they are rumours. At least they are still recruiting!
