bonalste, i just rang the selection team a few weeks before my 6 months were up saying that my time to re-apply was coming and krissie gave me an assessment date there and then! i'm sure an email would work just as well, they really are not assessing how you ask to re-apply!
--break break--
There is a small financial advantage in the way cadets are paid £1k a month to pay the loan, because that is tax free. So instead of a £36k salary, i will pay tax on £24k and get £12k 'free' to pay my loan off.
In my own opinion I feel like I am paying for my own training and not being sponsored, although I am getting a hell of alot for my £60k! Not that I actually care whether it's classed as sponsored or otherwise, it's getting me into the right-hand seat of a jet!
