Ahhhh.... But Just because you 'failed' phase 2 doesnt meant they don't offer you a place on the iCP stream instead.
I suspect several of the 13 who failed Wings selection will have been offered iCP places. Historically this used to be (in CTC words) a 'self sponsored' stream. But iCP is now almost identical to the wings course.
The selection process is a total gimmick. Yes - they want to make sure they select candidates are capable of passing. But its also alot of crap - basically designed to make those who do pass feel 'special' so they accept the 'once in a lifetime opportunity'.
