Phil-T, Yes i studied at TUKS. They don't offer the degree anymore which is a shame. I went for my interview on the 11th, so hopefully we get some feedback soon.
As for the rejection, you can't plan your flying career on one interview or one opportunity. It took me 7 years to get my CPL on my own steam so i know all about disappointment. All i say is be patient and do your best and you will get results. I've been struggling to find a full time flying job for 2 years as the industry is basically at a stand still when it comes to jobs for low timers.
