Dear Chellybee and others,
I'm so sorry to hear that you weren't accepted by the big Q. It is so disheartening when you get so far and then get knocked back. These days though I'm afraid it seems to be that even though you get as far as the medical you are still not guaranteed a job. It is a very expensive and time consuming exercise not to mention the anxious waiting for THAT call or email.
So to all those out there who've just got a no, just hang in there and remember that everything happens for a reason. Perhaps its not your turn this time but who knows what may happen in 6 months.
Good Luck and well done for getting so far.
Shaggs
