Hope not lol
They don't have long to get guys/gals trained before franchise is due for renewal and even then it's up for debate as to what is happening to TPE

First interviews/tests will be carried out in September I believe. Again, a little birdie told me.
Not long to wait now for the next stage for some, if that is indeed the case.

I'm in same boat, I sat tests 5 months ago.
I think DBS do assessments for TPE so I hope not, there is a poster on becoming a driver thread that's been invited to Assesment

doing the test really opened my eyes, according to the tested only about 10% pass, is there much truth in that?

Still not getting my hopes up to much, in my experience there is always someone bigger, better, has a mate etc. Airlines dont get that many applications for flying jobs!!!
Read somewhere there is 10 jobs going at 3 depots, 300 people for 1 position!!!!

I'm in the same county as you, however i would still need to relocate to be within the allotted time.
Anyway there's still the small matter of an invite first...awaiting shortlisting also.
