wangus,
I think in 2010 there was some specific demand for RYR...
Finished in 2010 feb, via CAE, I was 29. All my classmates (9) applied directly through the secretary in a simplified application form which was sent for processing through amsterdam first.
We were a more than decently brewed folks ...
Who got picked ? Simply the most selling ones, 2x 20-22 yo guys, one of them with military experience, the other is an aviation geek and 1x30 yo guy who had the most "visual impact" athletic with some work experience in a field where nice suits were used.
At that precise time they were looking for specific types, nowadays, in the following classes ... sometimes 8 or 9 guys have a chance to get interviews, I'm pretty sure I would have had my chance these days
(first passes everywhere ... 93%atpl (but who cares right ? multiple choice questions...)
