Well done to all those that got through and to those that didn't - keep on digging.
Interesting replies from all those accepted, thank you for sharing some of your background.
I was particularly surprised to see the huge variation, e.g. people with PPL's to the young 18/19 years and all the way to 35+ age with no aviation experience.
As I completely missed applying for the scheme, I was never in the running. Though sharing your background has given me some insight and re-affirmed life experiences are still valued.
