Be careful about overplaying your experience.
I was at Waterside in 2013 but missed out at the final stage. This year I didn't even make it as far as the FTO test centre! I suspect it was because I have a lot of PPL flying experience and this time around I gave a more comprehensive summary and listed I had done my IMC IR(R) and was studying towards ATPLs ( although I pointed out I had not yet sat any exams as per the BAFPP requirement ). Next year I plan to just say I hold a PPL(A) with no mention of the several additional ratings or hours.
Sadly in this new world flying experience is frowned on!
