Yes, it really was horrible getting that far and then being told, "No!". When I failed the first time they said, "You are were not flexible enough in your answers, and you were easily swayed in your decisions.". The second time I was told that I had not shown a passion for aviation that I explained I had in my application and there were one or two questions that I tripped up on in the interview - which was really down to lack of preparation. The third time, last month, I passed.
