Thomson is really the first one I've applied to. I applied to CTC a couple of years ago but ended up not going to the selection as I disagree with having to pay the £200 or whatever it is plus flights and accommodation. I've just applied to the flybe one at cabair, again I don't like the £60 for stage 2, then £110 for stage 3 plus all the hassle of getting there, but I'll make the decision if I get through. Maybe I'm cynical but I think they invite almost everyone to the selection day just to get the cash...

Tried ctc last year. I got to testing but messed up the pilapt by not reading instructions correctly.

An older and wiser me is applying to this and i've put an e-mail in for flybe with cabair.

Isn't the thomson one handled by FTE up until the very final stage? I didn't think FTE charged for testing....? Maybe they do...

Chrarging of Applicants

Hi fw,

To my knowledge Thomsonfly / FTE do not charge for any stages of the recruitment process.

Best regards,

D

Congratulations on getting to the next stage!

Do you know if they're planning on letting everyone know today or not? I haven't heard anything yet...

Could this be a bad sign or am I just being overly pessimistic (hopefully the latter!)

Still keeping fingers crossed and waiting anxiously though... Anyone else not heard yet???

I wasn't told anything about paying for the selection, as far as I know, the FTE tests are free. Might find out more when the email arrives. Anyone any idea how long the session takes? Want to book flights asap but not sure which one to get back... would prefer not to get the 9pm one!
