Hi Gaz,
Sorry to hear the news mate. I am trying to call FTE first but cannot get through, always busy, understandably right now.
I guess one good thing we can take away from this is that (as the letter says), at least we made the final 18, and surely that's something positive for the future, and something airlines maybe interested in hearing in future interviews.
Are you considering going to FTE anyway?

Hi niraj,
Yes I am planning on going to FTE. However, the funding is more of a problem now as i'm outside the 'umberella'.
The way I understand it, if youre on one of these schemes, you get much more financial help (I think from a spanish bank). If youre going alone (although HSBC are good) I think you have to put forward a substantial amount of cash first.
It'll take me about a year to save that so I'll just have to wait, or go modular (somthing I dont want to do but might have to as I'm currently 26).
Taiguin, AK BB:
If you dont mind me asking, whats the situation with your funding. Have FTE helped?

Ladies and Gentlemen,
It would appear that this thread has died a natural death. Understandably so.
To all those successful: the very best of luck. Hope all goes well and TF keep up their plan to employ you.
It would be nice if you could keep us posted on your progress somewhere in this forum (or the prof studies one).
Niraj, Madd D, et al: what are your plans for training? Are you going to FTE anyway?
Hope to see some of you in Jerez, perhaps at the end of the year.
Adios,
Gaz.

BACX - I'll be there in August!
Hey, just thought I'd say that I got the call from BACX on Thursday too - I'm starting in August!!!
OJ/BigFella - what days were you at each assessment stage? I was there on the Thursday for the tests and Wednesday this week for the interview (waited til the afternoon for the interview).
Well done to everyone whether with T.Fly or BACX - I look forward to meeting you all and having a few beers at the bar in just a few weeks!
To those guys who didn't make it - keep going! This was my last shot at 'sponsorship'......have tried almost too many times - BA x 2 (when they paid for the lot), 2 x Britannia and also FlyBE and CTC last year and it's finally starting for me - don't give up!
Mattd.....I can appreciate what you're saying about wanting to be under the umbrella of an airline - I feel exactly the same, but if you want to head down that route and you've just left uni, you have time on your side! Keep positive, keep plugging away and it'll happen!
The Moog
btw - OJ/BigFella, did you get paperwork through today from BACX? was expecting something today, but it hasn't arrived!

I was at BACX last Monday but no paperwork, from BACX, yet. I was also expecting to receive it today. Howver I have received an e-mail from FTE and they have also called me.
Have you book your flight yet? If so when are you flying out?
Check your pms

PS Is anybody else out there going to BACX, if so please pm me!

Sorry Guys!
I have been away this last week without internet access. (Working at Glastonbury -
yes, I'm muddy!)
I am soooooo pleased..... I'm on the scheme too. Yey! Can't wait to meet you in Luton.
You should recognise me. I'll be the girl.
It's all so exciting!
To everyone who didn't get in - don't lose faith - it'll happen, I'm sure. You all sound like you're dedicated to doing this, and that spirit will shine through! Goodness, a week in the mud and I'm beginning to sound like a hippy!
Peace man
All the best,
Troydi

well lads its now the 29th of june and now 15 days since i got that e-mail from FTE about it been another 10 days before we hear results of the thomson scheme.
now i know a lot of you got to another interview 'phase 4' and that of those of you who have gone to it have already heard if their in or not, but im just wondering if any body didnt get to phase 4 and if they have heard anyting from FTE or Thomson!!!!
I presume that i havent gotten the course but would still like to have it official from either FTE or Thomson.
does anyone have any contact name for the people looking after it in Thomson??
cheers lads and good luck to those who have gotten onto the scheme!!

Oh Happy Days, Oh Happy Days!!!!
"Reports are coming in that morale at Flight Training Europe took a sudden boost today with the news that not one but TWO girls are joining the college in August. New rules have been introduced in their honour: Only the skimpiest of bikini's to be worn beside the pool, however it should be noted that these are optional"
Looking forward to a few beers with the whole course, cya soon!
