It's one hurdel that you have to overcome I'm afraid. Haven't got my reply yet am also expecting a no, but you have to be in it to win it. Even if you got a maybe or a yes it does not mean you are safe!! Just keep at it. I think Etihad have the right idea. Lt anyone come in, there are lots of FTO's out there who are far to quick to turn you down because you don't have a certain grade or you have not got the right experiance. Hats off to Etihad they give you a fair chance, but with that comes a lot of competition! (amsure I will not be so postive when I get my reply!) But just keep that in mind
