Nothing yet, after being told my application was not being progressed, they decided it was automatically withdrawn in error. Still awaiting BBA results and progress to the written tests.

At least they acknowledged there was a mistake, hope you hear back soon 🤞🏻.

Just my little input, I did my initial application last month on the 28th. Did my online assesment (interview) last wednesday and had email confirming that i have been succesful. Email was sent out on Tuesday.

I'm pressuming it'll be few good weeks before i hear anything now. Hopefully theres places available for Manchester Airport. If not reserve list it is.

I’m on a reserve list for Manchester from
February which is now due to run out. All the campaigns are a joke.

You have to go through another application when they are open.

I’ve been on 3 reserve lists for the same location. And nothing

I feel if you are on reserve you have to apply every time there’s a campaign!

It’s even better when your on a reserve list then half way through the 12 month period they start another recruitment drive 🤨
Like why when you already have folks waiting in the wings that have passed all the assessments and interviews!!!

Unless you got almost top marks, you don’t really have much of a chance, unless you have want Heathrow or Gatwick, they seem to take anyone.

Try not to lose any hope, it’s demoralising seeing other people’s experiences in the process but I’ll certainly be remaining positive.

Like someone above has said unless it’s Heathrow or Gatwick you need top scores at interview to be offered a position. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻
