I went all the way up to Leeds for assessment.
Passed day 1 and was advised to wait for a date for day 2.
NTR DEC. Applied for 737, but have had previously flown 757 (a long time earlier).
Got 2 emails inviting me to attend a last minute cancellation sim (literally next day), which I couldn't attend due to short notice.
I explained that I needed a bit more notice, due to the long haul nature of my job. A nice HR manager called me a few days later and said that they were still interested and would be in touch.
Then, I never heard another thing.
In the end, I withdrew my application, mainly because I got tired of seeing adverts for contractors.
Shame, I would have very much liked to have joined, but as it turns out I have a far better rewarded, less hassle and less flying UK based job now.
Perhaps airlines should start to realise there is not actually a huge pool of unemployed captains waiting for a job in the north of England?
C'est la vie.
