i'm sure a couple of oil drillers would be up for being your 'air hostess'!! :bored::eek:

yeah it says you can get a reply up until 6th sept! Didn't know if they'd send the 'no' ones out fairly quick!?

I'm still waiting, wasn't expecting a reply until Sept 6th... it'd better be good!

OAT notifications
 

In my experience with OAT they'll usually let everyone know at a similar time, via email, usually about the day they said they would, not earlier. Could be wrong on this one of course but that's what I've seen before.

OK cool cheers, well its only 3 days away now anyways.

On holiday in rhodes so i'm all chilled about it!! :ok:

Hey all,

Ive also applied - so another pair of crossed fingers here :)

Considering they are charging money (£150?) to sit the 1st stage application, I'd expect a lot of bodies at that event.

It's stage 2 that they charge £195 for, and I expect there'll be as many as keen as always to pay for the chance at stage 2 ... I hope to be one of them too. Cracking scheme.

I had the pleasure of speaking to a Bond Eurocopter EC135 pilot yesturday whilst at a fundraiser for the air ambulance. Just thought id share that :8

Errrrr, yeah, cheers for that Mash. I'm sure you made a big impression on him to.:confused:


I AM SOOO GLAD I HAVE LOCKS ON MY DOORS AFTER SEEING SOME OF THE HUMANITY THAT POSTS ON THIS INTERWEB THINGUMY!

Alrite, behave Chukkablade.

I apologise for sharing information i thought was relavent.

Surely you would consider talking to someone who is in the position you aspire to be in as quite valuable.

It’s just your post didn't really have much of a point. It would be like me posting:

"I had the pleasure of speaking to a complete stranger yesterday whilst walking down a street I've never been down before, right at the top of the street just on the left. Just thought id share that".

You could have at least said how the conversation went, if he mentioned the Bond sponsorship scheme, if he gave you any advice etc.

Scruggs, nail, hammer and head there mate.:ok:

My plan was to see if anyone was interested in our conversation - but since you seem more eager to criticize than to gather info, perhaps ill refrain from sharing.

I'll indulge you then. Please share your conversation with us. Tell us everything! Don't leave out a single detail!

Had a look at the application page on the OAT website again - the Initial call for 2nd Stage Selection is 6th September, so that ties in with what others have been saying.

Expect your letter/e-mail on Thursday.

And your bank balance to decrease massively if you get through. :uhoh:

It would appear that OAT are telling people a tad earlier...just got my email :} see you guys later on this month :ok:

also made it to stage 2! But am having second taughts about the whole thing! Im 19 and in college, how on earth am I gonna get the £30K? :ugh::{

Good man Mash, best of luck:ok:

Hopefully, with the sense of humour back on, you can see what Scruggs and I were getting at:}

I dont really know a great deal about bank loans and such, but when i went to my bank tday to discuss a 30k loan they were more than helpful.

They suggested different ways of going about it - and im only 18 !

Just go in and have a word :ok:

Cheers Chukkablade

You and Scruggs may have had a point :rolleyes:
