kirungi1 - I agree with you on your point though,
the Virgin programme is rather good too .. straight into Long haul on a heavy, almost unheard of (I know Cathay do a 2nd officier scheme, but correct me if I'm wrong, you can't land/take off the darn thing)

polar25: Not really supposed to discuss that sort of thing. Its up to you to interpret what a "cover letter" is asking for. My advice would be to google what a cover letter is.

Hi guys,
I got invited for the first assessment day for FTE. I'm a bit doubting about flying to London. I never passed physics on the level FTE requires according to the guide material they sent (another system in Dutch high school system). Does anybody have any experience with the level of physics on the first assessment? Of course I would be able to study all the material in the guide, but is there more than that on the assessment day?
Cheers from Amsterdam!

Based on previous years, OAA usually receive the most applicants followed closely by CTC and then FTE. When I was booking my interview, there were only around 25-30 slots per day which has led me believe that FTE have only invited around 150 through to the next stage. I could be wrong though.

That would make sense. FTO to check basic requirements are met; BA staff to read over essay question etc? Fewer forms for them to trawl through.
Not much coming out of CTC at the moment? Getting anxious.

Very young?
Just out of nappies?
Under 30?
Seems strange to say really. (One FTO having a particular appreciation for younger candidates rather than all of them.)

It would certainly be interesting to see the age range of previous FPP graduates.
I really would have thought that BA would appreciate a candidate with some valuable experience. I could still be correct of course. Time will tell. I'm sure I'll discover my fate soon enough.
