VTOL, ....................
You've all just gotta keep trying and remember that most pilots do it the 'hard way.' I know what rejection is like. It took me a while to get over it but those who pick themselves up again for another crack WILL make it in the end.

As I started this thread I think it is only fair that I add my name to the list of thanks but no thanks cadets.
It seems as if no-one on pprune has got the nice phone call.
Unlucky VTOL and all the others. Join me in a commiseratorary drink tonight. and tommorow night then pick yourselves up and get on with the next one.
Over and definately not IN.

Good luck and congratulations to those who did make it.

Maybe they dont take ppruners!!
Anyway, my next appointment is the annual BA aptitudes on June 28th. Followed hopefully 2 weeks later by the final board interview. I dont wish to sound big-headed, but I expect to get to final stages nowadays....I just dont get any further!
Then maybe one more crack at Airtours in late summer/autumn. If neither are successful, I will be ordering my atpl notes and enrolling on a modular. Not sure where at yet, but thats another thread altogether.
My ideal situation is to keep working and earning the pennies, building up my hours at the same time (58 at present) to 100 or so, then go to ground school in mar/april.

I got the phone call, but not this year!
Congrats. to those that got in, bad luck those who didn't - keep trying though. I was rejected too several times before I secured sponsorship, I know how it feels!
Pprune has a caching problem which means you sometimes can't see your own replies. To get round this, press shift whilst you left mouse click the thread. This creates a new page with the full address at the top. Then add a / after the address. This forces the server to give you the updated version.

It really does take the wind out of your sails though doesnt it?
Im going through what can only be described as a crisis of faith at the moment. Maybe all these final board folks really know what it takes to be a pilot and subsequently see right through me. Ive been knocked back 3 times so far. bugger....

This doesn't make sense.
There was maybe 24 places for BMI and 74 candidates at the final interview. That's about a 1 in 3 chance; yet at least 15 people on Pprune got to this stage but seemingly no one has heard any good news.
What is going on?

Schooner,
What can I say, I am speechless too! I have mailed you.
Well done too everyone who got offered this scheme, I look forward to meeting you all.
To those that didn't, don't give up - it has taken me 3.5 years of trying to get this and I know that I have a long way to go yet - but it will be worth it in the long run. Good Luck with all your future applications!!!
cheers

Congrats Guys who got in.
This morning I am gutted - apparently I have passed the BM Pilot Selection but not enough places on the courses!! Basically a Thanks but No Thanks.
I have to say that I was excited when I got the phone call but then absolutely gutted afterwards. It is like being offered the Holy Grail to have it cruelly snatched away from you just as you are about to take it.
I am sure there are two others who know exactly how I am feeling this morning. I think I might have preferred being rejected outright.
I know I am going to get up off the floor and keep on going but to come this close just makes me feel sick. What I would have given to get the good news phone call.
Anyway, enough of this depression onwards and upwards.

God Apache thats blooming awful. Did they say you had first refusal should someone drop out ?
I have to say the whole process is very long winded and drawn out. I really think bmi should re-visit and reduce the time it takes to find out, 8 months from app to final is far too long. Its hard to fly aircraft when youve chewed not only your nails but fingers as well.
