Irishboy, I sent in my application at the end of December. Got the acknowledgement letter about a week later. Didn't hear from them again for about another 6-8 weeks later. Heading over at the end of May for the aptitudes. All in all, about a 6 month wait! The fact that you haven't heard anything yet is probably a good sign. I think they are just up to their neck in processing applications at the mo. Despite the wait, they are still far more professional to deal with than Aer Lingus.
Best of luck...
