I've sent them an email back about it, will keep everyone posted about what's going on. Seems to be a fairly widespread problem so hopefully should be fixed soon! In the meantime am going nuts 'Braintraining' on nintendo

For those wanting to stay the night before the interview days, I have found some good deals.
A night in the Park Inn @ £54 Bed and Breakfast, that's what I've booked at http://www.lastminutelondon.co.uk
Or, just a 5 minute walk away is the Thistle, 4*, which is just £35 at http://www.lastminute.co.uk Or just £38 with Breakfast as well!
Hope that helps

this was the messege from some already been on one
The exam takes aprox 2 and a half hours, including the intoduction.
I think i did great in most of them, except maybe one of the math ones.
Its not that it was hard, it was quite simple, the thing is that it had the kind of math i used to do back in grade 10 in highschool, and i have not practiced that in like 3 years, i dont think i failed thou. but if we had been given more time i guess i would have been able to remember how it was i used to solve it. by the way , they dont let u use a calculator, so i suggest u practice ur subtractions and divisions on papaer, cus must of us havent done any of those in ages, u know how it is that we get used to using the great calculator.
also practice stuff related to percentages, common fsctors, algebra, angles, and CONVERSIONS! thats the part were i went bad, with the conversions, feet to metres, miles to km, etc.
One thing i forgot to mention is that when they invite u to the assesment , they dont tel u wat u are gonna be assesed on. and many of us mistakenly went there with the idea that we were gona have a face to face interview. it turns out we didnt... no interview for on on the first stage.
Man i ust wished sumone had warned me about all these before i did my assesment hehe.

palks.....yes you are right.
double check guys, cos they won't be able to reschedule you if you arrive at 1, and it should have been 9am.
confusing to say the least.

Any classes after 2008?
Does anybody know if there will be any non UAE national cadet classes after 2008, say in 2009? Is there a good possibility of it? I would really like to apply, but I need to finish my college education and can't see me giving it up right now. I have heard rumors of other foreign airlines, especially in the Middle East, opening up their cadet programme to non nationals in the near future, any news on that? The Etihad programme seems like a great opportunity if one can get accepted, I wish there were more cadet programs open to US citizens.
