Anyone heard any updates or reasons for delays letting people know the results of Stage 3 from the end of 2019/early 2020??
Seems like fairly poor form to not be communicating reasons for delays.

But quite clearly an enormous amount has happened. Haven't been in touch yet, want to let the dust settle a bit. I am aware of NATS making cut backs though due to the airline's heavily reducing traffic.

This is the biggest aviation downturn since 9/11 so it's unlikely that recruitment will continue as normal. Preserving current jobs would be a good start.
However as far as I am aware, no official communication has been made yet.

I don’t think they’re cutting anything back yet. Just placing people on hold and slowing the training process down. NATS are know as much as most of us and are waiting to see how things pan out.
Those of us OJT won’t get any done as there isn’t any traffic to train with.

UK shows down 30% ish at the moment (feels more than that at work). However many routes are still winding down. There will be a lot less traffic next week.

Yes it has. I don’t have any stats but as mike says check the twitter feeds. Where I am it has gone really quiet to the point I’m just studying at home with a part 2 until I get a call. Towers only want operational staff at the moment to!

Got the call!
I had my stage 3 a week or so ago and got the phone call today to let me know I’ve been successful!
I was a little surprised to get the call given the current state of the industry, but over the moon to have made the cut!
They did say I probably wouldn’t hear anything further now for a little while until things play out. Is anybody else in the same boat? Hope to see some of you in a few months time for training!

Strange that you were last for the assessment and yet got the call before the December people!
