Fantastic news! I'm also on to stage 3! Just working on getting to the UK for the 2nd June now, nothing like a challenge when you finish exams the day beforehand! 
Hope to see some of you there!

If you're looking for how to get there, see:

Although that only displays local routes. You\'re probably best off starting here:

I am at Loughborough University, so I don't have far to go next week! I'm a first year Aero Eng student. I take it you are at Leicester Uni?
niraj.patel,
Check your PMs.
Good luck

Hi guys!
Yes, Loughborough is very close to EMA, or should I say NEMA now! I'm surprised so many people are living or haved lived in Loughborough. There I was thinking Loughborough was a really small town no one had heard of! Small world I guess.
But no, I didn't go to Loughborough University or Leicester University. I read law at Nottingham University.
All the best,
Niraj.
Guys I should also mention that I went to FTE in Jerez at the end of April, and besides being "highly recommended" for their Integrated Course, the place is fantastic and both the staff and students are very nice. Seriously, you guys would love it down there!

Travnet,
Having visited FTE in Jerez, I can confirm they can help with the loan. They have an arrangement with a bank, or you could choose to go to HSBC. If you pass FTE's test, they will supply you with an offer letter. This letter is used to help get the loan.
I'm sure FTE would let you change dates if you cannot make it on Friday. Though it would help if you could arrange it with someone yourself to swap dates. I'm on Tuesday, is that any good for you?
Regards,
Niraj.

Hey OJ,
I'm actually at Loughborough Uni too and studying the same course. I'm in the dreaded final year though. Got my flipping final year project to be handed in next thursday so i'm going to have to finish it off on Tuesday me thinks!
I know another guy who is going to the assesment centre out of my course so that makes four of us who have some relation to Loughborough Niraj. Your right that is a bit wierd!!
Anyhow wishing you all the best...

I'm on for the 31st May as well at 0900.
I've got no idea what to expect from the assessment day, but I have already been down to FTE and it's great down there - I'd really love to go, but it may not be possible with the loan repayments being what they are. But hey ho, it's another string to the old bow. I'm hoping that they use similar tests to FTE as that could benefit me seeing as I've already done them
I'll see some of you guys down there, niraj and boeingboeingboeing (are you down for the 0900 time?).

You're gonna hate me but it's 98% done - I'm just finalising stuff - I mite even be ready to print it before the weekend. Don't hate me for it!!
But then again, as my Nan says - 'you never know what's hanging till it drops' - so I might well find something horribly wrong with my results and need to do a re write!!
Anyway - to get back on topic good luck to everyone who is going - has anyone got an appointment on monday 30th that could give us a heads up about what it's all about? unless you're competitve and don't want to help us!!

Hi Guys, thought I'd share with you some info. I emailed Thomsonfly and asked them how they were going to run the selection next week. Here is their reply:
"There is a half day of selection tests, to include PILAPT (Pilot Aptitude),
Verbal and Numerical, 16 PF (Personality profile) and an interview. If you
are recommended to Thomsonfly after Phase 3, you will be asked to attend a
further interview with the Airline."
Hope this helps you!
Anyone going there on Thursday at 9am?

BA CitiExpress
Afternoon all
Has anyone heard back from the BA CitiExpress scheme yet?
Guess by doubling the number of questions they asked us to answer they doubled their own work load!!
GSB
P.S. It is currently 88 degrees in Jerez and sunny...

Grass strip basher:
Havent heard back from BACX yet either - have to wait and see
Troydi:
Cheers for info - sounds like the FTE tests, I'm sure if you search on these forums that the tests would be described if anyone wanted to know what you're up against

Hi everyone,
my testing is for 31st May at 1.15pm rather than the 9.00am slot so they must be spending a bit of time on us then!
I have also already passed the FTE tests but I believe they would have slightly lower standards than an airline, but only slightly! The PILAPT tests are actually okay as are the written tests, the only ones to watch are the english/maths tests on the computer - too many questions, not enough time.
Thanks to Troydi for asking the question of Thomsonfly!
Good luck everyone

guys come to your senses
Flying schools need money so they go to airlines and agree to provide pool of pilots from which an airline will select only few lucky ones. I would think very carefully before signing any contracts.
