I know...but I am happy...
Good luck to everyone!

I got the 'maybe' email as well. Unlucky to those that didn't get through!

Thanks But No thanks Same luck
oh well Life doent stop here
Need to wait another six months now

God Help US Please.

I have the email but aol won't open it!!!


All my other emails open though, how frustrating :(

haven't made it either. oh well... florida here i come :)

I've been invited to the second stage!!

They've asked me which is more convenient - end of August or October/November.

I have a vacation booked for the end of August so I've replied and said October/November is more convenient for me.

Hopefully it'll give me more time to prepare too.

Good luck everyone! :)

167 rejected emails i guess it is the age factor and solely the tests we did as i have got Meng in Aerospace and PPL Holder also as far as iremember the tests went pretty good but dont know what went wrong !!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it all comes down to the age and the CV.

How are you guys just saying it's all about age and CV? Why would they waste all this money on the tests?

Oh no, don't get me wrong. Of course the tests were considered and it was fair, not the best way to test people, but fair after all. But are you really saying that 160ish people didn't do well on the test? My bet is, they got a certain amount of applicants who had passed the test, but they needed to cut out more people... the only criteria left is the age and the CV.

On the email says that we can reapply after 6 months, but here is my decision. In November i will have already finished my ATPL, so ill take the other road (more expensive, but also more rewarding). See you guys in the sky.

Have you got space in your suitcase?:}

also got the thanks, but not thanks e-mail

but....I NEVER attendet the assessement day in frankfurt because i couldn't make this day. answered this on the 8th of july as reply for the invitation..never got an answer!

in the invitation e-mail they say, as you know guys:

"If you can't make this day, please contact us and we will inform you about another assessement day scheduled"....

f**k it!

I'm surprisingly ok! I thought i would be devastated! I just realized im in this for the long run. This was not the last door i will knock on! I immediately contacted all my friends who already fly for companies and they cheered me up so much!

sirnaish, i'm really sorry about what happened to you. This proves once more that first stages in these massive selections are only a matter of luck. They need to focus on a few people to conduct proper tests so they need to get rid of a couple. I am 100% sure that among the rejected people there are truly valuable people, completely awaiting a successful carreer as pilots. Don't feel that being rejected because you couldn't make it to the assessment was something personal. If you are already in aviation, do as i did. Call the people who have already gone through this, they will be of great help.

As soon as i got my rejection email, i called my flight school and told them: Listen i need an aeroplane TODAY! They gave me the digits of somebody who had booked the cessna and i told him. U, I am flying today... whether u come with me or not! So, hey, im putting on my 2 sripes pilot uniform and heading to the airport for a little aeronautic treat.

ptt ptt

By the way I'm 18 in August, so at the other end of the age spectrum.

I didn't get through, but I will take my PPL have some fun and re-apply in 6 months time. Plus today on a positive note I just landed a really good job to pay for my expensive hobby :P

Everyone keep positive, doesn't mean we're not good enough to be pilots. If the owners of Etihad would have stopped at lifes obstacles five years ago, we wouldn't have an Etihad to apply to!

Everyone you will see me on VATSIM for about 15 hours tonight, will help relieve the pain of rejection :O

Aeromar

Where do you fly then?

Think I shall continue to prepare to do an ATPL the way I have been. Im getting abit tired of Airlines testing potential candidates on things which have nothing to do with flying an airliner.

Congratulations to everyone who has nearly made it to the next stage.

See you in the skies.

Deltacat13...hop in :P

Adam :ugh: hoping:-)

deltacat, i fly in Spain, im from Madrid.

I wrote down what I remenbered from the tests after I left the hotel and checked,and double-checked 2,3,4 times and I was 100% sure that I did very wellbut today isn't a very good for me,so only thing I have to say is to wish the best of luck to you'all(at least more luck than I ever had)and congratulate the fortunate ones who managed to go through(make us proud)take care
