Recruit to group is like a reality show, "line up in front of the celebrity judges..unfortunately, one of you must leave the island today.."
having spoken a few of these "celebrity judges" thats not the message they put out. policy is if you've got an interview, basically they've already decided you're ok. its simply up to you to not balls it up.
they interview say, 10 pilots for 10 spots. if all 10 are up to scratch, then all 10 get yes letters.
