Nothing here, and if interviews are due to start on Thursday, then I seriously doubt we'll get good news this time. As gutting as it is to believe that, especially after putting all that work into the prep, I know I have benefited one way or another, and it will undoubtedly help me with future applications. The ones that have made the cut this time, you all deserve to be in this amazing position. Keep your head high through this final phase and hopefully you'll make it all the way. I'll join you all in the skies shortly afterwards !

Hi, I did the interview in dublin on the 8th, thought i got on 50:50, aced a few things and got on fairly crap in others, my first attempt at anything like this and have almost zero flying experience. Was amazed at the amount of people there who had done these interviews multiple times for different airlines and keep on trying. Heard nothing back yet and not holding out too much hope, would be an amazing opportunity to get though so best of luck to all who have progressed and you never know I might see you there!!

Does anyone think they may be inviting people in batches? Past experience maybe? I think only around 4 people on this forum have confirmed that they have been invited back. Again, I am trying to be optimistic until the dreaded rejection comes through.

Hi guys
I too am waiting for a response, I think I've given up hope though. Like some have said maybe it's a staggered process, however a big question for me is of the people on here with invites, was anybody in week two?
Congratulations to those who have got through. I just want an answer. I'm sure many will agree its a horrible feeling waiting for news, particularly as it looks to be bad.
Cheers guys

I just received my "thanks, but no thanks" email. I was sort of expecting it though to be honest. It was my first time applying for it and I felt a bit out of my depth when I got to Shamrock House and saw how much better prepared everyone else there was. Ah well, I'll learn my lesson and spend the next year putting myself in a better position for when the competition comes back around!
Best of luck to everyone else who got through to the second interview!

EZY_FR - Sorry to hear that mate. I can see you are keen to become a pilot. It is hard. I really wish they would give us feedback. How the heck are we supposed to do better next time when we don't really know where we need to improve? Don't lose hope. I know it's easier said than done but I am sure that many of the successful candidates have had several knock backs, and will go on to make fine pilots. I hope I can be one of those people one day. There will be other opportunities.

gutted, just received my knock back. at least there was no suspense as they were kind enough to put it in the email header! well done to those who were successful (not at all jealous ).
the frustrating part is the feedback part, there must be some typed up notes somewhere that could be provided. maybe to stop the almost inevitable disagreement emails if the comments are on a personality trait. (results on the tests should be easy)
for me i know i went badly wrong on the interview part and was generally under prepared after only being asked for an interview 3 days before it happened!
ah well, i suppose there is no harm in starting to prepare now for next year if it happens
anybody on here from the first session from the 29th sept?
ps i hope i never see a 3 men standing next to each other in whatever orientation holding a square and a circle ever again
