You'd think they would acknowledge receipt of our answers.... even an automated thing would do just to let us know it made it there and someone might read it... the wait is driving me nuts

GB sponsorship
Hi all...
I was wondering if anyone who trainned in FTE could help me here..I'm through the GB Airways cadet scheme,i've attended an assesment on the 10th and I feel that I did well(hopefully)But i'm concerned about the finance!like many others I dont have the £60k and I've been working hard(BA cabin crew)so i could save a bit!in their website they mention an agreement with BBVA,can anyone tell me how does it work?on the interview ,when they asked me how am I gonna pay for it,i've got the feeling that..they were giving preference to someone who had conditions to meet the amount asked without help(off course,your academical,interpersonal skills and abilities count more)but,might sound sily,but it was my impression!And for the people who got loans,anyone managed to get a loan secured only on the FTO and airline word,saying that you'll be offered a job in the end,which will be the case if GB decide to sponsor me?plp who had finanacial problems I would trlly apreciate if you could share your views on this subject with me
thanks very mch guys,regards

I got the same impression. To say "i plan to get myself a loan" makes you sound so naive, and to say "if necessary i would work a few more years and save up" makes you sound like maybe you're not ready and havn't thought everything through i suppose. I didn't exactly say both of those things but the more i think about the interview, the worse impression i get of how i did 
i'm too honest for my own good during interviews

GB/Thomson FTE
I'm sure you did really well,"only who dares,succeed"!I am worried just like you but since my interview I've been thinking about how I will manage to solve the money issue!simply because,these programme(GB and Thomsonfly mentoring sponsorship)doesn't secure you a job!I've just found out when i attended the assesment..then they told us that we have to come up with the money,then from the cadets who complete the training with a 80% average results,will walk in to the Job!What about the others??the bank never will give me the money knowing that...and,as I am cabin crew for BA,I've spoke to my performance manager about the panorama on BA/BACX/GB/BMED,for the next 2/3 years regarding profit margins expected,recruitment,and other points,and he told me that he cant see great development for GB,perhaps this new cadets will only fill the gap of pilots leaving by natural ways(retirement)!BA has a long standing pool,of pilots waiting due to our last campaign of direct entry,and cabin crew,gatwick is taking nearly 1000 crew until october due to the merge of the short/long hall fleets(or the so called "OneFleet").
should i rob a bank????

When will you hear?!
Hi all,
You have a few days to go yet, as you are all well aware the closing date for the applications was Sunday, those that applied on the last night will receive their questions yesterday (Monday) and given the 3 day time limit to reply, i.e. till Thursday.
So the soonest anyone will hear anything will be Friday by telephone call and e-mail confirmation.
Few more nail biting days to go!!
Best of luck to anyone that made the application.

Gosh, patience isn't a virtue amongst you lot is it? 
You betta get used to this inability of airlines and the like not to acknowledge or respond within a sensible period of time - this industry is reknown for it! bad HR/Recruitment co-ordination with IT Departments is usually to blame
