That's true, but we still shouldn't be prepared to go around writing out cheques without any level-headed consideration. I think it's fair enough to want to know just how many people have been invited to stage 2, and personally, I'd be interested to know what we'll get if unsuccessful -- will it be like a GAPAN test and if so do we get a copy of the results? And will we get a hot buffet lunch?
I'm keen, and I'm happy to contribute to aptitude testing costs, but if someone says "step this way and jump out of this window to become a pilot", I'm not that desperate
