I got the letter of intent for this program. And was recently told it was no longer an option! But its all good, and i thank them for the experience.
Mind you, i was living at home with my old man still and didnt have to worry about families and mortgages. (etc etc)
However, i had a ball. I got to fly a 747 sim, i got to experience a panel interview, by stroke of luck they upgraded me to business class for my flights to sydney (dont know how or why that happened). Plus i got to leave Kununurra for a week to do it.
But in doing this traineeship and knowing people who got in, im not too upset that im doing the GA path. Its a good experience and i get to fly in and out places that most people dont ever want to visit, but someone has too.
