Massive congrats to you for getting through. I'm still patiently waiting, my heart is beating through my chest every time I think about it. Trying not to get my hopes up but I thought the day went really well and was relatively straight forward.

Big congrats to everyone who's been successful so far, it's great to read your progress and thoughts on the assessments. Good luck with the interview!
SPS1984, I also was unsuccessful with FTE, it's great to hear that they're actually giving out some feedback. Had you emailed them beforehand asking if this could be provided?

Hi there rstra,
No, I hadn't got in touch with them at all (I was going to give it a few weeks and then ask, but they got in first). It's probably worth asking if you don't get anything soon though.
Hope you get some encouraging feedback. Cheers, good luck with future applications!

Commiserations to all those who have been unsuccessful so far. An encouraging read in the following link, more or less confirming a re-opening of the FPP window in early 2016, albeit possibly for the last time! 
Now would be a good time to reflect on the good and the bad of your experience this time round, ready to smash it next year!

I received my invite to interview earlier today after only completing my first Waterside assessment day yesterday - ecstatic with the news of course! However very surprised considering we were told to expect a wait of 5-7 days for news. Looking forward to meeting some of you in the following weeks and years hopefully!

Congrats everyone who's got through 
I was lucky enough to get an interview as well. Not many dates available when I went on the site earlier though so book your slots quickly

I've just heard, I was assessed on Wednesday. Good news for me. Hope some of the others get through, some really great people there.
Best of luck if you are still waiting.

Thanks for the info! I did have feedback, wasn't until I looked in my junk that I found it! Turns out what I thought were my bad bits actually went pretty well! Likewise the group discussion let me down. Very very chuffed to have gotten feedback as it wasn't expected, motivates me further and points in the right direction for improvement!
LandingConfig sorry to hear that! Keep your chin up!
To those still waiting to hear back from Waterside, good luck...finger crossed for you

Anyone not hear back yet? I'm thinking that if you haven't heard by now, it's likely to be a no

Not necessarily EZY_FR. In the past they haven't recruited as many as they said originally, in which case you're just competing against a standard, not other candidates. On the subject of statistics, does anyone have any idea how many made it to final interview?
Hopefully there will be further opportunities past 2016, it'd be a shame if next year is indeed the last run as it's probably one of the only realistic ways into aviation for some people (myself included) atm. If BA are happy with the standard of cadets coming through and continue to require pilots (which they seem to), I don't see any reason why a similar scheme won't continue to run at regular intervals.

We were one of the last 160 mate. Keep your chin up, we now know what most of the process involves so, if we can work on our weaknesses, we should be in a strong position next year.
