Haha,
Well I'm more of a Thai Chi (spelling??) guy myself but hey ho.
I think the best policy will be to wait and see - have been doing the usual brushing up - Maths, aptitude etc. that I did for CTC (I didn't pass that but they invited me back to try again this september as I was very close) so I am hoping this is a good bet.
I'm not entirely sure that we'll see them cream off any top percentile from this first stage - I imagine they will have set pass marks for the first apptitude tests and then those that meet these criteria will be invited for further assessments (and given what happens at other schemes this will bring down the numbers quite considerably) - being a whizz at Maths and even displaying the highest apptitude levels won't necessarily make the greatest Commercial Pilots - I'd imagine Etihad therefore will look at more than just this. (certainly everyone else does.)
See some of you on the 29th at Heathrow - looking forward to it - with some healthy levels of fear to!
Matt
