EZY_FR; sorry to hear it. But keep your chin up, you'll get other opportunities (at FPP etc) in future.

Sorry to hear that, did you meet the minimum academic requirements ? as it seems that OAA and CTC are allot more keen to asses anyone who meets the minimum requirements. whereas FTE seem as if they have taken time to review the applications and therefore are assessing less applicants ?

The dreaded but not entirely unexpected rejection email has arrived from CTC.

Good luck to all of you!

Hey PlaneVanilla,

Was your interview at OAA conducted by both OAA and BA staff or just the OAA recruitment team ?

@Yobier I got it on the 6th, but as my iPhone doesn't sync my junk for some reason it wasn't until I checked on a desktop that I saw it! Plus, the only available date was the 16th December - I've got a week to prepare! ARGHH!

@ EZY_FR

I am in the same boat as you received my rejection e-mail too from FTE today I remember we had trouble submitting our application on the deadline, I hope this did not play against us!

Nevertheless lets keep our heads high and keep on trying.

Best of luck to all of those who are still in game!

@Tomahawkgirl I realise you are from Scotland. What transportation do you intend on taking when going down to England?

Also received my email from CTC today, very happy to have been accepted to stage 1. I found my email hidden in my Junk Mail. Definitely check there if you still have heard anything back.
Anyone else having an issue logging on, to book the assessment date with CTC? I keep getting "Invalid logon details, please try again" error message...

tornado11; I think if your son has the minimum academic entry requirements then it's safe to say that that wasn't the reason for the rejection. Therefore, it's probably in relation to how he answered the multi-choice questions and/or the extended response questions.

Tomahawkgirl; congratulations and good luck!

@am59fly Tell me about it! I live on the Isle of Wight but work in London, so I'm getting up bright and early to get the early boat, then heading up to London afterwards. So happily no need for accommodation!

Anyone travelling from Scotland, there are direct flights from Glasgow to Southampton operated by Flybe. They seem to be daily which is good.

@pilotwy
I'm flying from Inverness to Southampton via Manchester. Flight times worked out pretty good. Flying back to Glasgow and just bussing it home

@G-F0RC3 Thanks!

I was well above the requirements, so I guess it was all due to the essay and multi-choice questions. Doesn't help when they don't give you feedback on where you went wrong in the past.

Dreamer380
It is a major coincidence, but two of my mates who applied before the deadline(one of them the week before) also received rejections today, so I doubt it is to do with the timing of the submission. One of them actually made it to the final stage of the process last year. :/

Thanks for your kind words, but I don't have as much confidence in the future pilot growth predictions as CTC.

Although it is painful not to get to the next stage after putting so much work in, I wish you all the very best in the next stage.I will be following this thread to hopefully hear good news from such a good bunch of fellow wannabes .
