I'm pretty sure I will be ;-)
On the other hand, there's nothing I can do about the results now. Even though I would love to know how I did, having that information a few hours later won't hurt anything, of course.

Any news ? After the test they told me we would receive the results on the 8th. They didn't say it could be later... It's kinda annoying when you are expecting the news to come and you don't get anything! Maybe it's because I didn't pass but they don't have a lot of mails to send out... Well, nothing to do but wait!

Hey, same here refreshing this thread & checking my mail constantly.... not sure iff the good news emails might have already been sent, but I haven't received anything yet. They told us "expect result from the 8th and onward" (dutch: vanaf de 8e) so it leaves the option open for it to be later.
edit: spelling

That's the same thing they told us: from the 8th onwards...
I'm starting to stress about it a little too, but still... I wouldn't be surprised if it lasts until next week until we hear something, be it positive or negative.

I've had a phone call too, but since I'm in New York, calling back is extremely expensive. I just burned through 15€ just to listen to the voicemail-message.
I've recruited my father to call back for me, and am anxiously awaiting the relayed response in a McDonald's restaurant on 8th Avenue (for the free WiFi )
"Stress" doesn't even begin to describe this feeling...

This doesn't happen too often, but I'm at a loss for words...
All I can say is: I'll see you guys at the start of the training, if all goes well (medical and background check)!!!
I think a little celebration is in order.
If any of you guys would like to meet up to get to know each other, shoot me a message!
Medical check for me is July 28th from 7am till 12.

There is an app for that, use Viber or Husher for cheap VOIP calling.

Anyway, there were 12 places right? How come at least 4 of them are posting regularly on this forum (the reach here is never that high)? Is the total number who got the call > 12 because they assume some will not pass the medical/background check? What if more then 12 candidates pass the medical and background check?

For those who are interested, I've created a fb group 'belgocontrol 2015'

Might be easier to contact each other...

I will be doing my medical on the 28th btw

In all the excitement, I didn't really think about any alternatives like VOIP

While 4 might seem like a lot, I think chances are statistically higher that people who frequent aviation-enthusiast forums get in, are higher. I'm not sure how many people got called, but they may of course be creating a recruitment reserve as well. We'll see in due time, I guess.

Stoffel:
Do you mind posting a link (if necessary, via PM) to the Facebook group? I can't seem to find it?

To those who are in - welcome!
You'll find the group of controllers is a welcoming bunch of people who have a great sense of responsibility as well as excellent capabilities of de-stressing !

All the best during your training, it won't be easy , but it will be rewarding !

Gr, Dimi

I just joined the Facebook group. Since I don't have a personal Facebook account, my "name" might look a little odd
