Thank you G SXTY for this information.

I booked a bedroom yesterday in this hotel.

I read your testimony on this website, and it's encourageing, for old people like me (34 year old).

you mentioned earlier in he thread that you have spoken with FTE and said they would contact us on monday or tuesday this week. was it a rough estimation as to when we would hear?

i still havent heard anything. i guess i have to remain patient!!!

Hotel arrangements
 

I have opted against the holiday inn as it was £100. I will be staying in the Grange Hotel to let you know if any one fancies it. It is £55, has a nice victorian look about it and is closer to the airport with a free shuttle. I have asked them to drop me off at the flybe HQ to save me a taxi ride also.

Once again, good luck to those who have yet to hear from those higher up.

AdamLT, I haven't heard anything either. When did you send your reply to the email questions?

owenoundle...

i sent them on 18th july...so quite a while ago.

I must admit since reading in an earlier post about hearing from FTE on Monday or Tuesday I have been checking my inbox every half hour! lol.

I also submitted my questions on the 18th July and still nothing.....I can only assume that if I make it through then the day I will be allocated to attend will be towards the end of next week.

I applied for the pilot scheme at waterford and had my interviews the other week. I found out yesterday I got through and am on cloud 9.......pardon the pun! So I am starting in october. As I said earlier good luck to all as Exeter interviews are tough. Happy landings all :ok:

Adam LT,

When I spoke with FTE, she said it would be Monday or Tuesday, and I received an email on Monday at 1330 informing me I had progressed to Phase 3. I received another call this morning (Wed) asking if I would confirm my attendance on Thursday 14th Aug at 1230.

She sounded pretty sure as to when we would hear back from them so if you still haven't heard anything, ring them up and ask to speak with a lady called Ava. They're very friendly and all speak English!

Good luck, again!

Richard.

cheers Richard.

I have just spoken with FTE, and they are sending a batch of emails out today. so..i wait with my fingers crossed!

Good news guys...I've been invited on Wednesday 13th August at 12.30pm. :ok:

Good luck to the rest of you. Hope to see you there.

Adam, give me a call if you get through. Good luck mate!

finally got the email today.....what a long wait :P

see you all there at 12.30 on the 13th if you're there

Interview
 

What do you guys expect in the interview???

i believe it's just HR questions mate....like why do you want to be a pilot, to have you led a team before.

when is your assessment?

This Tuesday...

Alot of prep to be had...

Anyone else for this tuesday? Wheres every1 staying?

alright all,

How did the interviews go. i'm heading down in a couple of days. I think it'll just be the usual 'when have you lead a team?' type of an interview but any feedback would be appreciated.

good luck

Feedback
 

So how did it go for everyone??? I generally think OK for myself. I have a feeling of not being surprised if I do or dont get offered phase 4 however... odd.

it went ok also. the joystick was the most off putting of all the tests. very badly collaborated.

have you heard anything yet mlowe? did they say about a week or 2 before we would hear anything? i also believe flybe will contact us if we have got through to phase 4 (so ive heard from a friend who is already on the MAPS scheme)..and if not, FTE will contact us.

all the best to those who went to phase 3 last week

Hi all,

I went on Thursday afternoon and found the crosshair exercise with the joystick to be extremely difficult. I applied for CTC a while back and can't remember this test being so difficult at that assessment.

And I'm sure if the horizontal crosshair was at the bottom of the screen you had to pull up to get it up back to the centre, which is the opposite to when you're actually in an aircraft. If the bar is down, you go down. Same if its to the left, you must fly left to intercept whatever it is. So I found it hard to counteract my natural reaction which was, if its down, you are too high. I hope the other tests were good enough to get through!

Apart from that, and a few rather tricky maths questions, I think it went OK. Thank god we got a calculator to use, a lot of questions would have been impossible within the time limit without one!

It's excruciating waiting and not knowing when they are going to tell us. The lady wouldn't say exactly when because she didn't really know. I just hope to god its soon, and good news!

Richard.

this waiting game is horrific to bear...

the first joystick test - forget it. what scores did u get for the first 2 tests?
i got 6, 5, 5 and 8, 9, 10.

the maths, diddnt realise there would be so much with such a short time to calculate but think i did well.

the verbal reasoning, a little tricky but you could argue a few answers on some questions.

the interview - was very short/quick so dont know what to make about that.

i got 5, 6, 6..then 8, 9, 10.

the waiting is excrutiating to say the least!
