I submitted mine the night before but I never got a confirmation email, does that mean it didn't go through?

volunteerpilot, I'm sure none of the applicants are under the illusion that this will be an easy process.

We are all well aware of the highly competitive nature of the scheme but hey, 12 people will be selected at the end, right? Some people (probably following this thread) will be fortunate enough to be chosen! As for the money... there have been hints of an opportunity to get the loan guaranteed by VAA - which is vital for people like me who can under no circumstances find £120k or use an asset as security.

It would be nice to see slightly more optimistic and positive approaches to this fantastic opportunity.

Snoop

why so negativity in this thread. I am assuming most trolls are from folks who either were not successful previously or someone who genuinely don't like airline cadets.

Now now, let's all be friends. High chances, yes. But, many graduate jobs and careers out there have equal chances. Last year the organisation I worked at had ~8,000 applicants for 20 graduate roles. So it's no different.

Hey,
does anyone have any idea whether this programme is open to Internationals/Non EU members?I'm not sure whether "Unrestricted right to ..." corresponds to "if you can get a study visa/work permit"

CTC will not help you to get a visa (based on their on-line responses to similar questions) therefore you're not eligible as I'm guessing you would need a sponsor in order to gain a work/study visa. Also the application window for this scheme is now shut until next year.

@wonder88 thanks for the response.I did send my application in before the window closed ,after searching and not finding direct answers to this,I just went ahead. Could you send me any of those links?
CTC not helping to get a visa ,doesn't mean you can't get one .If they accept internationals for their programmes that aren't airline affiliated,unless the airline restricts this themselves,how would they not help with some like these ?Anyway,I did email asking this,waiting for a response from them.

@mabawa, I'm not entirely sure on the visa front, but.. the undisputed right to live and work in the UK is most likely related to the conditional offer of employment from Virgin Atlantic as in order for a British company to employ a foreign national they would have to prove that none of the local applicants were suitable.

@Stratopause.. seems it was a Red Herring.. The message has now been changed. I imagine they must've had a few calls about that.

@PA28R, Sorry to hear about that! I was under the impression we wouldn't hear until w/c 14th December. Certainly got me worrying now

All the best everyone.

Seems like the same thing happened you as it did to me for a different CTC scheme. Maybe they're just unsure of your exams and therefore assume you don't meet the entry criteria. That's just my experience with it.

@PA28R sorry to hear the bad news. It would be good if everyone else could post on here when they get their replies over the next few weeks. It will be interesting to see how people get on. I'll do so myself.

Time frame

Hi guys,

Does anyone know what the hypothetical time frame is from receiving results, to conducting stage 2. Is it a couple of days, or weeks. Easy MPL was a few days.

regards

Dom

I'm not too sure. I don't think it mentions about this anywhere so maybe give CTC a ring and ask.
