A few issues with their email today. I received the mentioned emails and then the follow up apologising. I'm gathering they sent the apology email to everyone including those who had previously been invited to assessment centre days.
Seems fewer people attending assessment days than I thought, going by the schedules.

So let me get this straight?
They told you initially that you were unsuccessful, then they sent an email inviting you to an assessment, then another email apologizing and saying it was a mistake??
What a circus!!

Yes, a family friend who desperately wants to be an airline or commercial pilot suffered the high hopes and dashed in hours feeling.

I can echo some of the sentiments here. I applied on a Friday and on Saturday morning at around 6am I got a rejection email. I assume HR Wasn't feverishly reviewing my application in the 12 hour interval between application and rejection. I also consider myself to have fairly good standing for both programs. The algorithm mustn't have liked me......

I am hearing some rumors that the program didn't go ahead at all because FTA didn't get the VSL approval from the government that Virgin was going to rely on to finance the training.
But this is an unverified rumor.

Haven't heard anything about the same happening at FTA.
Anyone else heard anything?
Just slight thread drifting for a bit here. If every Tom , Dick and Harriet had easy access to $99,000 for flight training, I would think that would attract a lot who are just not to cut the mustard and finish the course. Now who can we blame for that?

Well it's lucky that Virgin put the applicants through aptitude testing and interviews prior to them gaining a place on the course then.
Mikewel, I think you will find that The Other Flying School has already lost its VET FEE funding (reported in the newspapers as being mid-June) and is now appealing that decision in the Aust Admin Tribunal.
