    OMG!!! I think I'll have withdrawal shakes. Although I don't post much I look at this forum every day since learning about it it in Jan this year. :)

    Ilona and tiger keep trying eventually Bare will assign you jobs, I'd been applying since December and finally got one this weekend. Sadly though I'm too young for the flights.

    Gap and MSE both unavailable simultaneously over the weekend for "major" upgrades. Conspiracy theories anyone?

    Yes, they do ask you to write THE letter of the route, so one only ...

    Sadly that looks to be true: Though it does say "prefered" so you may get offered another route.

    The flights are only for one. you can take others but they must pay.

    They now seem to want the results within 24 hrs at each destination.

    Read my post for the details.

    And weren't the fees for the flights on BARE nearly twice as much as they are now, last time?!

    No fee last time either. A travel allowance of £40.00 IIRC. At least this time is near to £70 though as you have to stay overnight will not cover any B&B payments.

    How much notice do they give you if you're selected for a flight. I know they give you three options but as the end date is 30.06.2009 I was wondering when they start notifying people in order to get the flights in before that date.

    They are starting now:

    One guy I know was emailed last Wednesday (1st April )and asked to do LHR-JFK

    The dates were from April 15 until end of May IIRC.

    He replied on 2nd and got the flight details on the 3rd.April

    Look out for those emails next week perhaps as the new "routing" requirement was only implemented on Saturday night.

    By the way, do you know if you have to have a lot of experience with them before they offer you a flight or is it just random?
