    I'm guessing we could be picked if people fail the training course/medical etc but we were not picked for the job. There is still hope but it's very doubtful now.

    I totally agree. I heard they took on too many cabin crew & some of them got offered the Guest Services job...

    I find it very hard to believe that the EI HR Dept would have "over recruited" in a particular position, especially such a high profile one.
    Bearing in mind that such a significant recruiting program would have been planned long in advance and also would have to have the necessary budgetary allocations and approvals from senior management before it commenced.
    Perhaps such slip shod recruiting campaigns may happened in the days when it was state owned, but again I would be very sceptical.

    Yes I've worked in the airport before... Definitely apply again next year but at least you've taken the job in ground operations. How did your medical go?

    Medical went fine as far as I know. Ended up going in twice as they forgot to do a VDU test the first time for some reason. Was worried they brought me back in because of a problem the first time but they assured me this wasn't the case.
