Great post!
Thanks for the post Fergal10! great advice for us late bloomers. I am 27 years old will be having my assessment day on Monday.
Your advice has given me great motivation (not that I need it!) and confidence to give it my all on my assessment day.
Many Thanks!

These airlines value maturity and life experience so bring this to the interview table and you will have an advantage over the nippers who know nothing of the real world and have never had a conversation with anyone over 30
I believe this sponsorship is to address the issue that they have very few pilots in their 20's flying for VS. Obviously they can't discriminate on age when advertising this sponsorship, but I would imagine those not meeting their age requirement will be found a convenient excuse as to why they haven't made the grade.

@ akropovic
i was annoyed because i passed on everything except for some flipping long division comprising 15 mins of an otherwise very stressful day, where i felt i performed very well.
this was reflected by my results telling me i passed both interviews and the pilapt
i dont blame anyone but myself, but it is quite annoying.

Bestofficeintheworld,
j4mi3 has just (by the sounds of it) been told that they are unsuccessful. What a great way to support your fellow hopefuls.
Was that response really necessary? It's a forum, not an application. j4mi3 made it the application stage purely by the strength of their application warding off 1000's of other applicants for which he/she has done very well alone.

OAA vs CTC assessment
Hi guys and girls, does anyone know the difference if there is one between the compass tests you get at OAA vs the pilapt test at CTC? Are they the same? I have done a search and couldnt tell.
Cheers

Compass tests and pilapt tests are slightly different trtj but they're similar tests from what I can remember (it's a few years since I last did compass tests though!).
Champagne anyone...?
Just FYI, but it might be worth reviewing Bestofficeintheworld's posts on this subject. "Fellow hopeful" s/he most certainly is not.
Take good advice where offered.

FFP Stage 2
Hi all,
Firstly, congratulations to those who have passed stages 2 and 3. I've been fortunate to get through to stage 2 and will be attending the assessment day in Jan. I've scoured the thread but I was wondering if any passees could give some clarity as to what it best to read up on or revise so as to arrive best prepared. I'm assuming that a thorough knowledge of Virgin Atlantic is an implied task prior to attending also.
Cheers, and best of luck to everyone.

LowLevelSHAR, stages 2 and 3 (interview and selection conducted by CTC) have now all finished and the shortlist of candidates to attend Virgin for a final selection day (stage 4) have now been finalised. The final stage will be taking place over three days in January.

Bestofficeintheworld...I stand corrected. The CTC process appears to have been extended then. Good luck to all those awaiting selection / results. The final selection at Virgin in January should be an exciting one!

For those of you that are still to sit the CTC maths test I recommend you have a look at FlySuccess - Free flight aptitude test practise - I used it in the run up to my tests and found it pretty useful in getting up to speed with quick-fire maths questions. It's all free so i'd highly recommend it to all of you! :-)

Yup ETflyer, still waiting. I have a feeling they might wait until stage 2 assessments have finished and everyone has been invited to the final stage before sending this out so as not to disadvantage anybody - I may be wrong though and I'm still checking my e-mails religiously for more information!
