Well done! Did you have the option of 4 different days or just the one?

It says it's a joint BA and Skyborne lunchtime presentation and a 1 on 1 interview - no mention of who the interview is with or whether there's a group stage. It's a little annoying not knowing how far through we are in the process.

There are options for more than 4 days - there were 3 pages of times from the 25th Oct to 8th Nov

Just got mine, and well done to everyone else so far!

I'm not certain but it reads like it's the final stage of the process with the BA presentation being given?

I read it as this is a Q&A / presentation and an interview with the flight school. If that is passed I was expecting to come back for an assessment day with Group Ex and BA Interview sometime in November. I’m not 100% though.

Yeah I just assumed that it's the stage before the final stage with BA, but obviously we will just have to see!

The stages are set out on the Skyborne website. This is the penultimate stage - an interview with Skyborne. Following a sift after this, there will be the final assessment centre with BA.

Is it worth us setting up a WA group to chat over prep for stage 5?

I am happy to chat.

Nah I haven't heard anything from them yet. Did my in person assessment day on Tuesday last week, and they said you'd be notified anywhere between a week and a month.... an annoyingly long time frame! I'm so nervous I could burst... just tell me already!!!

There were rumours that Skyborne would send invites by early next week meaning you could hear back by then, but who knows if it's true or just drivel.

Is there any indication at all as to numbers available for each slot? Just trying to gauge the size of the cull before the final stage.
