To Flybug:
LHR and FRA have been completed right? good..
LHR and FRA candidates have been selected? yes
LHR and FRA candidates will start their program in June? right
SYD and JNB have been completed? no
SYD and JNB candidates have NOT been selected.
Yet somehow SYD and JNB candidates will start their program in November.
JFK and YYZ got canceled. I dont care when they should have started, I dont care if it is this year, next year or the year after. My whole issue is that EY decided to go on with 2 more cities after declaring they are affected by the economic downturn. SYD and JNB did not start, and wont start till mid May. The candidates have not been selected since they did not complete the assessment, and yet will have a chance to participate in the freaking program. JFK and YYZ candidates, as well as SIN candidates will not get a chance because of the economic downturn. Explain to me how it is logical for an economic downturn to affect events that will happen next year, but not events that will happen this year? The crisis is screwing up economies and companies this year. By next year, forcasts indicate that at the very least the slowdown will stop, if not seeing economic growth. This is what is confusing me.
If i decide to go on with the PPL as you have mentioned, I wont be eligible for the EY program, as they want people WITH NO FLYING EXPERIENCE. And if I had the money to go ahead with the PPL, you think I wouldnt have started it? For people outside your area, money is somewhat of an issue. We dont have the government of the Emirates spend insane amounts of money on undeserving individuals who spend it blindly. Some of us have to work to pay for education, and other professional career programs. I'm not implying you are like that, but I see how a lot of people from Dubai live here in Montreal, and I know for a fact that many of them are on government funded sponsorships, driving Ferraris, and buying 10-20 bottles of alcohol a night at clubs. To them money is not an issue.
To shppatelsa,
I have no idea what you meant by the whole economic climate business and what not. And I have no idea why you assumed i have a "psyco mentality".
My whole bitching and ranting isnt because I wont be admitted into the program; I knew the chances of success before applying, and I knew that hard work is required to achieve something. I know all about working hard for things. Hardly anything I got came easy. My whole rant is because something doesnt add up with this program, and how things are conducted. And I know that EY will never explain the reason behind their actions, so I have to live with it and move on. All I saw in the EY cadet program is a decent chance to bypass the hassle of going through the modular training, and all the extra expenses and loans one could and probably would incur. I never thought of it as the only way.
