Aaargh, how many times do I have to say this - having a PPL and over 100hrs is not going to be the thing that stops you getting on a cadet scheme. It didn't stop me and it didn't stop the other person on my course who had a PPL, night and IMC rating. (BA by the way). It took me 13 months from applying to being recruited. Do you think they want to hear you say 'I didn't express too much of an interest in flying during the last year in case you didn't want me'?
People on this forum tend to spout a magic number of hours above which they will not get in. Can anyone tell me where these numbers came from, or are they just 'they didn't want me and I've got 67hrs, so 65hrs must be the cut off point.'
