Thought that would be the case. Fortunately, I have other strings to my bow that are probably more important to them (and me). It's just a pity it's gonna be over 4 years before I can think of applying...DCF

Sadly, I didn't make it past Stage 3 and am not being targetted for re-application. The interview was probably what they failed me on (guessing at this stage). I must say, even after preparing for it for over 2 weeks, anticipating all those things they were likely to ask me and making the best effort possible I still made myself sound like a boring mumbler. I know they have misunderstood me, but it's up to me to force that upon them. And I failed. Anyway, back to the ATPL books.

If this is of any use, my application process went as follows:
Phase 1 - submitted application forms mid-December last year. Received a response on 3rd Jan that I had been invited to Phase 2.
Phase 2 - attended 31st Jan (although had been given the option to go on 17th Jan; however, university commitments made it easier to go on 31st.)
Received an e-mail on 2nd February telling me I was invited to Phase 3.
Phase 3 - attended 7th March. There were people there who had had a waiting time shorter than my 5 weeks. (Not that it mattered to me in the slightest - just an observation.) Received an e-mail on the afternoon of 8th March, inviting me to Phase 4.
Phase 4 - attended 16th March (although I also knew of one person from my Phase 3 who was given a date of 23rd March.) Received a phone call on the train home three hours or so later advising me I'd been accepted.
Overall, the total time for me was just under 3 months, although I do know there are people who've done it in a shorter time - sometimes you get a shorter wait time between stages. Indeed, if I'd taken the earlier Phase 2 option, it could have been quicker for me. Hope that's of use.

Have you really read the threads? I'm sure this has been covered in the past 38 pages.
Plus, Minus, Times, Divide!!
That really is it. The questions are dressed up some what, things like currency conversions but all you need is basic arithmatic. Nothing Else.

Phase 2 on the 05/05/06
Hello all!
Anybody attending the selection of the 05/05/06?
After reading all the posts I still have a few questions. Does the age limit of eJ and some other airlines in partnership with CTC is still 26? And in that case does anybody know what is left for people from 27 to 30?
Also concerning the pilapt tests, there is one test called PATTERNS and another one that has a matrix involved into it, could someone describe what u have to do specifically in those two?
Thank you! ( Also hope I'm not the only one for the 5th...
)

Phase 2 selection 5th May...
Would anybody be up for sharing a twin hotel room in Christchurch / sharing a taxi to the selection centre the following morning? Since this whole thing's proving a bit pricey, thought cost sharing might be a plan. email: [email protected],
cheers,
Mike

Just to let you know, if you stay in one of the guest houses on Stour Road in Christchurch, nice ones of which there are plenty, a taxi to the airport's Eastern Business Park where CTC's Bournemouth centre is located will cost you between 10 and 11 quid. It obviously works out much better if you can share one. In my experience, guest houses seem to be about £25-£30 a night for a single with en-suite, and the two I've stayed at - Stour Villa and Brantwood - both do EXCELLENT breakfast!

Anyone who was at the Stage 2 at Bournmouth on Friday heard anything yet? They said on the way out "you'll hear tomorrow". With the bank holiday weekend I assumed that was admin speak for Tuesday!

Hi James -
It's strange - apparently they emailed everyone on Saturday, though you're the third person I know who hasn't heard. So you'll have to give them a ring and get them to resend the email.
I found out this morning and have been given less than 24hours notice for a Phase 3 tomorrow - eek. I'm in the process of rescheduling though.
Good luck.

Its taken me around 3 hours from 1am to 4am to read this whole thread and im really glad i chose to look into the finer details a lot sooner than i would be able to apply for the CTC Wings, really gives me the time to read deeper into the industry. The information supplied within this thread has helped me understand what there is to do at the different stages, and as for the be your self advice, i cant help being myself anyway.
Anyway my eyes are starting to melt, hope people waiting for their results get what they want!
