What an disorganised, poorly transparent scheme that was!
Off topic a bit but I still wonder why selection costs near £300.
25 wannabes a day, makes CTC £37,500 a week. Run it for 4 week, you make £150k. Surely not breaking even are they?
Whereas military selection you get all expenses paid, albeit transit accommodation. Yes risking your life and all that but we don't do it for that.
What a sorry state aviation finds itself that these companies see the young hopefuls rock up with rose tinted goggles on and expect them to pay travel, food, accommodation, and then a sweetener for the privilege.
Good luck to all those who make a bid, it's worth it in the end!
