Well, like i said, i don't care if you believe or not. I can however tell you that much, that they who were in the first interview(s?), will hear from AL in September, and successful candidates will be in for another interview.
Apparently not many have been there yet, since no one has mentioned it here yet, but can't wait to see you coming with your tail between your legs admitting i was right.

I am struggling to believe this either. From what I know, interviews for DEP won't be taking place for another few weeks.
You sure your friend isn't going for a cadet interview?

I can confirm what Pirrex is saying and I also can confirm that the guy who went there is definitely no cadet and he comes direct from flight school.
Unfortunately they haven't called me yet tho.
@Syntax Error: You should reconsider in which way you talk to people. Pretty rude and unprofessional!

watt001 Sorry to hear those scammers got your hopes up. Hopefully you'll get a genuine call from AL soon.
pirrex, elmore, worldoffe - which schools did your fresh fATPL friends go to ?
Having looked at the terms and endearment thread too, just surprised that not many actual PPRuNe-er's have been invited...just their friends !!

I think they were pretty clear with this 4-week period. I will wait one more week and then I will ask them about my application though. Hope they won`t take it as an undesirable inquiring like Ryanair did

I sent them an email last week asking about the status of my application.
Got this reply this morning.
