CTC ATP delay
Morning all
I wonder if we could do a bit of intellignece-sharing, and avoid hassling Jo Ward at CTC (which we have very firmly been discouraged from doing!).
I got my reply from CTC saying I would get an interview, wait for a date at the beginning of Feb. I was led to beleive that March would be most likely, but that doesn't seem to have happened.
The question is: to anyone who has an interview mid-Apr, when did you send in your app? To others who are still waiting (especially if you sent off before Feb), when did you apply?
Thanks in advance for your responses. NOTE THAT THIS CONCERNS THE ATP SCHEME, NOT THE AB-INITIO SCHEME RUN BY CTC.

Hope this helps:
CTC usually interview on a group basis with preferably 6+ candidates at each sitting. Sometimes it takes a while to get the requisite no. of people together on the same date.
I went there for interview in Oct, was told the next stage would be Nov, eventually it was in Jan.
It's good enough to even have an interview; just be patient, they are very efficient once the ball starts rolling.

Can you tell us how you got on?
And for the risk of repeating other threads, what was the phase 2 and 3 like?
I have also received a letter from Jo Ward saying that it would be in the next couple of months, dated 10th March.
Cheers

Many thanks for the replies chaps/chapesses.
It's not that I'm getting downhearted or anything, it is just the sort of thing that is nice to know. In particular, how hard to pursue another 'proper' job in the interim. It does seem that the ATP scheme is the best way into the airlines at the mo, and for the time being at least, I'm doing filing in an office for 6 quid an hour.
Oh! How the mighty have fallen!
Would still be v. interested to hear from anyone who is up for the mid-April dates.
Ciao!

Chuffer,
There is a Phase 2 next week, and at the moment CTC is running an AQC & 2 conversion courses (B737 & A320) for EZ at Dibden Manor, so they're extremely busy: be patient! The holding pool is empty & partner airlines keep asking for more ATP Scheme guys. Looking good for those who will pass the selection.
Slim20,
It's more like 12+ candidates these days considering the demand!

Chuffer,
I applied in November, and got the invitation letter for phase 2 around mid-March, so it tells you how long you may have to wait...
Use the time you have to prepare yourself the best you can!
Best of luck!

Thanks JMC
I have just plucked up the courage to ring Jo Ward, and was told that the next date would probably be in mid-May. Aparrently, Dec and Jan's applicants have been cleared out, but when I contacted them in early Feb, mid-March was mentioned as a possible interview date. I ain't holding my breath...
We shall see. It's not that I'm anxious, but it does affect getting other jobs and life-planning. Whatever that is.
Ciao for now
