20 got to interview!
That means a minimum of 20 candidates doing 2 flight tests each. As an absolute minimum that's £nn,000 just for that stage of the process. Seems a lot of people to flight test for their aptitude in an aviation environment, when surely somewhere like Cranwell would not only be cheaper, but can apply a tried and tested selection process adapted for TFO selection.

How many 'got through to' the flight test stage, but didn't 'get to' interview?

Is it true that there was a 'motion sickness test' part of the flight testing? If so, what on earth would that consist of?
