Well I thought it would be UK nationals given priority due to the the loans would be easier to get compared to someone who lives outside the UK and that fact pilots have in the past that were taken on left after a few years (Was told by a pilot) so they try prevent from past mistakes . On the contract side of things there's ways out of everything ! ......
I do infact qualify
I sat my Leaving cert the summer just gone , got my letter of certification saying I have 3 A-Levels
it also states I have to be 18 before July 2013 , I am I'm 18 in march
I'll wait and see like everyone else
best of luck to the people who has an assessment !
