To those who didnt get through, keep your chin up. Air Atlantique wasnt the first sponsorship I applied for, and had I not got in, it certainly wouldnt have been the last. The key is to keep trying. I got right through to the last stage on several sponsorship scheme applications before I got in with AA.
Congratulations to those that made it through - will see you shortly for the next stage, which I believe is a sim test and your first interview.

Atlantic Airlines do the night cargo work. Air Atlantique operate both cargo and passenger, but mostly passenger. They currently operate three ATR42's in passenger config (as well as many other aircraft), so you'd be flying up to 50 passengers during all hours on the ATR's.
I know I said keep your chin up, but the "I didnt wanna work there anyway" attitude isnt ideal when looking for sponsorships.

Do you mean to say Atlantic wasn`t your first choice, outrageous, lol !!!!
Mate, you`re gonna have to change that username, I`m sure I could probably dig out a few for you !
I`m impressed on how informative you`ve been (you`ll be taking Kay`s job next, lol !), I could never take it seriously enough, keep up the good work !

Atlantic 44 has been very informative and helpful. He is sponsored by AA and gave us first-hand experienced advice. Where as you sound like someone who is disgruntled at your own failure.

UAV689,
I know how you feel.
I'll have to spend another £20k to finish my training, only for airlines like Thomas Cook and Excel to say, "You're modular, you are inferior, go away, when we want low hour pilots, we'll go to Oxford and get the Integrated guys."
But I'm still determined to get there, and show the airlines that modular trained pilots can be as good a pilot, if not better, than integrated.
Best of luck to you whatever you do,
POL
Space_odyssey, people on here do have a sense of humour.
It\'s sometimes difficult, because of the lack of features we take for granted when actually speaking to somebody, i.e the intonation of their voice, to determine who is being saracastic, and who is just having a bit of fun. Thats what the faces to the left were invented for 
Keep that in mind next time you post.
All the best,
POL

Hey space,
You causing trouble again? Tut-tut! And just because of being disgruntled at your own failure, heh-heh!
Atlantic-44
P.S. I suppose the 72 type rating is coming before the hire car one

Just an update, apparently Kay has had to take some time off so that's why no-one has heard anything, it seems i caught her the hour she was in the office. I guess the people there haven't gotten round to us. Fair play, I guess we're the least of an airlines worries.
