Have just heard from a friend who went a few days before me, and with far more experience, that he also failed on the sim. Seems to be a pattern developing here. 
Or maybe with so many applicants they can afford to be extremely selective on who they hire.

I know two pilots who both failed the sim recently. They both had around 200 hours. I did a 2 hour 737 sim with both the day before and they did fine (based on their experience level).
and here is the answer we have all been waiting for ! found this in my inbox :
I am writing to update you of our recruitment plans for the coming weeks. As it stands at the current time it looks unlikely that we will have any further simulator and interview days planned for the immediate future.
I realise that this will be disappointing news but regrettably it is unavoidable.
I hope to be able to update you again by the end of September.
Should we have any developments before the end of September we will contact you again by e-mail to advise and where possible offer a selection of sim and interview dates.
oh well..... that makes 3 pfo's in two weeks. That's a personal best!

Any one fail but not on the sim?
I got the standard letter about failing the sim. I am curious - did ANYONE get another type of letter - saying that they failed the interview for example.
From my perspective, my sim was not great but I too had mitigation. I actually felt the interview could have been better.
So - is there anyone out there willing to say that slobbering over the psycho was the reason for them not being offered a position?

Just got this today from Thomson:
"I am e-mailing to advise that there has been a change to the second stage arrangements for next week. I regret to advise that we will now not be interviewing next week. We will still be undertaking the sim assessments as planned so you will still need to report to Alteon LTN for your brief and for confirmation I have confirmed your brief time below.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
Once you have completed your sim assessment you will be finished for the day and we will confirm the outcome of your sim with you by the end of next week. If you have been successful through the sim then we will advise you and will need to arrange interviews with you at LTN at a later date. If you have been unsuccessful through the sim we will also advise.
Once again our apologies for any inconvenience caused."
Any body else got the same ?

Hi everybody!
I am sorry to hear that they are failing so many, but I don't believe that they will spend any time or money on sim assessments, if there wasn't a good reason to do so...
Anyway, for you guys who have made it through to the second stage, and who is waiting to be invited - Don't worry they will not forget about you, I had a gab of 6 months between the first and the second stage. I am now employed on the 757...
The rumours are that they have the required number of pilots for the time being, but at the same time they will most likely start to recriut again during the spring, as they did this year...
So cheer up, because it is definitly worth the wait!
Take care.

Maybe it's a "streamlining" exercise ?
With so many of us apparently making a right
up in the sim, they are wasting time having to get people in to do the interviews. So only those that pass the sim will get to the interview stage (about 1 in every 100 from what I see on here) and the chance of a job.
Must dash - got a pile of dusty CV's to send out.

Just to let you know that our newsletter on the 18th stated that there is a total recruitment freeze at the moment. Do not know how long it will last for? will keep you posted.

Just got the good news that I have passed stage 2, sim assessment. Now, new process obviously for the remaining candidates:
after stage 2 to attend final interviews at Luton (stage 3). TFLY will advise at the end of september about the interview dates.
Fingers crossed.
