Airtours Sponsorship!!!!!!!!
It is now a week since I sent my SAE to Jerez and still no application.
With a closing date of 1st September this is going to have to be a quick turn around!!!!!
Let me think "Why do I want to become an airline pilot?"
Anyone received their application form yet?

I agree with DeltaTango.
I believe if you read the ad again, you'll find they just want your inital application/enquiry letter in for the 1st and then all applications will be sent back via our SAE there after.
P.S. not meaning to sound like a smartarse

TOM Mc & ATCS, you get my vote for the closing date. I certainly read it as saying you had to get your initial req in before the 1st Sept.
As for the stamp issue, I don't believe you can use British stamps when sending from Spain and I don't think you can buy Spanish stamps in the UK, so I took that to mean stick a UK stamp on it and then all the SAEs will be sent back out to us from the UK somewhere, well at least that's what I read would happen on a previous posting 2 weeks ago. I think they'll send the job lot back to the UK and then post them out. Anyway, what the hell do I know? Pure speculation. ;-)

I too hope that 1st Sept is the date for receipt of the written application and SAE. It's cutting it very fine if this isn't the case. Fairly reliant on the inefficient Spanish Postal Service...
In 8 Days it's due in. What though; the aforementioned letter or the completed application form? If the former then I'm afraid a few people will miss out.

To be honest, by the wording of the advertisement I originally thought it meant the form had to be returned by the 1st, although my second thought was "How the hell will I manage that?" Here's hoping it means the initial request. As for the stamps, I don't think you can use UK stamps to post to Spain, but I'm sure the applications will come from a mailing point in England, similar to Aer Lingus.

Last years airtours process involved writing to confirm your interest / receive further details. Everyone who said that they meet criteria were invited to apptitudes and so on. NO APPLICATION Form (at least not last year!).
However, if you did make it to final interview, you were required to send a C.V. to Airtours HQ a couple of weeks before your interview - A good and Bad thing

Shamrock 321, I included a reply paid coupon with mine, although I think they will send replies from the UK. The time allowed for responding (ie by 1st September) must be for initial response or their criteria for pilots must include superhuman abilities! No one can bang out an app in a few days and expect it to hit the mark. Good luck, and practise maths and response excercises in a distracting environment for the Gapan tests!

I phoned them last week and they said that we should receive the forms next week, probably about tues (12/09), they only started looking at the applications last Tuesday! If the course starts in November, this selection process is going to be rather fast!
