I was told the same - the lady said we could expect to hear by Friday 18th, but that was by no means a deadline. She also said - contrary to popular belief - that no news means no news. If you haven't heard anything back, it's because a decision hasn't been made yet - it does not mean you have been unsuccessful. She said everything is in Thomsonfly's hands and they let FTE know their decision as soon as they've made it - hence, there's no point constantly phoning and emailing to see whether you've been successful or not. And also, we can expect to hear either by phone or email, so it's worth checking both.
In summary(!), we'll most likely hear by Friday, but if we haven't, we're not to panic!
Happy waiting everyone...............

Congratulations everyone.
It would seem I'm through to the next stage too! I couldn't believe it - chuffed to say the least.
I don't know which day I'm going on yet because of exams, but I look forward to meeting you all there (except for revilo who(m) I've already met - congrats mate).

Hello all,
Has anybody received an e-mail confirming the date, time and how to find the 4th stage venue?
I am waiting patiently debating whether to give them a call

No, been refreshing my email all morning. Really want to get flights/train booked but until I know where the venue is, its hard. Did anyone ask if it's actually at the airport or somewhere in the centre of the city?!

Don't quote me on this, but I would imagine it'd be at the airport, just as Phase 3 was at Luton.
And from the posts I've read earlier on in this thread, it looks like it takes a few days for the emails to come through. To be honest, it's probably coz of difficult people like me not being able to confirm times and stuff that it's taking a bit longer than expected. So, apologies for that!!
Femalewannabe, you might be as well to book your flight/train to Manchester anyway, and then when you find out the location of Phase 4 you could just buy the extra leg of the journey then? It'd be cheaper to get the train/flight booked now rather than delay it any longer, and I believe tickets between the airport and the city centre (whichever one you end up at) are only a few squids each way.
Yoda1, from what I gathered from speaking to the lady at my Phase 3 interview, it'd seem they appreciate a bit of patience (not that I'm implying you're impatient
). Maybe if we still haven't received any info by tomorrow evening, we could phone/email first thing on Friday? I get your point though - we're all desperate for those extra scraps of information 
.
Bon courage, as they say... in France.

Genuine question: I know you guys are not quite in yet (but looking good!) have they given you any ideas about fleet etc?
The best of luck to you all.
10 years in and still a good company.
