Is this an addition to the already announced classes in November and January?

I'm probably being very hopeful here, but this could perhaps be the reason some of us (myself included) haven't heard back at all yet? Because surely they would've told us 'no' by now, considering all summer 2018 assessments have concluded?

[79er]

I thought similar and then received my mail 4 days ago. Yet, still there might be hope for some...

[mask14]

Just a rumour folks - also : extra A330's coming in 2019 & 2020

[EIFlyer]

Yeah but A320 LR's order cancelled until further notice

[FlyVeryHigh-]

Where did you read the a321lrs are cancelled?

[EIFlyer]

Lad on the A320 fleet with AL told me. I think it's a postponement more than a cancellation though.

[mask14]

Yeah delayed rather than cancelled hence the logic of extra classes for cadets returning by 2020 when the delayed 2019 A321LRs meet the 2020 scheduled A321LRs
Great news if it's true for cadets not so good if your are DEP for 2019 but maybe A330's can be found like the one from Qatar - lovely aircraft.
Expansion : complicated but positive.

I got my unsuccessful email today... given that people were being told of their successful application more than a month ago it’s pretty bad they have taken this long to inform people.

I am am trying to surmise why this may have been the case, hopefully thinking I may have been put on a reserve list. Though realistically that may be unlikely. More likely they haven’t got the infrastructure in place to cater for the high volumes of applications. Not fair on those at AL having a huge work load or applicants as how can they sift through so many in a fair and balanced way?

Big downer on the day.

[IrishB1]

wonder will we have another Friday pass with no calls or rejections

[Irishgrend]

Were people who attended the first week not told they would hear back in max. 2-3 weeks (so latest today)? I guess people will definitely be hearing back next week?

Some results of the interviews are out...
Here is the group for those who progressed through the final interview... for updates !

I’m the same... still heard nothing

It's a group for those who progressed through the final interview during the stage in Dublin
Calls started on Friday for some to invite them to the next stage, the interview with psychologist...

[ZephyrGCT]

I'm also in the 'done the assessment day interview but no call' group. Do you think that everybody that was successful was notified on Friday or will there be more people notified today? Being left in limbo is a nightmare!
