I got a reply from CTC on the 8th saying I'm through to the next stage (2). For the record, I'm 20, have 70 hours experience (including some in the UAS), have had work experience with BA, Air 2k, and some aero engineering companies. Also have good academic record and am currently at uni.
Yep, £140+vat is expensive, and only a really small percentage will get through, but hell, isn't it worth taking the risk?? New Zealand, full training and a RHS on a 737/A320...I'm taking the chance...it doesn't get much better than that!!
Good luck to all you guys still in
