I also wonder if unsuccessful candidates will be given detailed feedback if they don't make it to Phase 4.

Regardless, good luck everyone.

Jonesy05,

nothing is definite, and it is a rumour network...

But it did come from a credible source.

I had hoped we would have heard today due to the interviews possibly being held from the 8th next week.

Alas, I was wrong! Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

Andy,
Sorry to hear that!

I can't quite believe I am saying this, but I have been invited to the next stage!

Good luck to everyone else

Well - it was a great experience at The Base today, lots of high calibre individuals and I'm sure there will be a similar calibre of applicants tomorrow and Friday.

I'm glad it's done now! Bring on next week...

Good luck to those who were there today and to everyone else tomorrow and Friday

Agreed! I had mine today and the level everyone is at in terms of competency is unbelievable.

I heard next Wednesday is when the results are out. Did anybody hear differently?

We were told:
If we are lucky - Monday afternoon
More likely - Tuesday afternoon
Worst case - by COP Friday

So from that - Wednesday is probably a safe bet, but Monday would be nice! Haha

Also very much agree with the comments above about the calibre of fellow hopefuls met at the selection day. It's going to be brutal for them to whittle it down to 12. If they had 48 places I'm sure we would all get one. Very best of luck everyone.

Totally agree, those who make it through will have definitely deserved it! I'm the same, keep thinking back to things I could have added, but all we can do now is wait!

I am indeed! Haha
Although being at work the next few days I am limited to checking my emails every hour or so - it's torture!

Good luck everyone...

Congratulations to all those that made the cut! Condolences for all those that weren't so fortunate, but the fact that you came so close means you're doing something right and another airline will surely recruit you in an instant! Don't ever give up, I know folk that got their chance after applying so many times.

Can't actually believe that I am writing this.....but I received the good news!

For all of you that didn't get the result that you were, please take a minute to read what I have to say.

I have been pursuing my dream for almost 8 years now, ever since these types of schemes made a reappearance post 9/11 and have received the bad news at almost every stage of the application process. That said, I viewed each unsuccessful attempt as a chance to review and improve for the next attempt. I'm not saying its been easy, in fact its be pretty disheartening at times and I have questioned my resolve to keep trying on a number of occasions; thinking what else can I actually do.

The best advice that I can give is to keep trying, do not give up, review what you did last time and think about how you can improve. One of the best things I did was to talk to as many people as I could, get them to proof read my applications, go through interview questions I thought would come up and discuss the examples that I had for each.

Finally, do not give up on your dream. If you want it enough, willing to put the hard work in, and lady luck is on your side then you will be rewarded.

Finally, massive congrats to all the others that have received the good news. If anyone was there on my final day, 10th, drop me a message as would be great to see who else got in. I could not have picked between us all tbh.
