Good news at last! I'm booked in for the 23rd for stage 3 :] I feel for everyone waiting on previous stages though.
Sam0n, I contacted Newcastle airport through the ATCsim part of their website to arrange a visit in January so you could give that a try in you're not having much luck with Manchester.
Any of you successful applicants have any advice for this last stage? I know it's team exercises and an interview but it'd be nice to know how much of each the day involves since it covers a good 8 hours.
