I posted in 2017 that I had tried (and failed) applying. Since there is a new bid and it fits for me, I'm going to try again. Hope I get further than I did in 2017, it still is a dream for me.

Great spirit. Wish you better luck with the selections this time!

Thanks! I'm trying to approach it in a way so I wouldn't be devastated like the last time. I still have time to try for another bid though, thanks to them raising the limit to 30.

A couple of years ago in this thread some people stated that the pressure on skeyes ATC is pretty high, is this still the case or has it improved by now?
Edit (2 march): I just read through the 35 page mega thread and it has answered a lot of questions for me!

Don’t tell them you were devastated last time, being devastated when things don’t go as you wish/planned is not exactly a capacity they are looking for.
Good luck!

[Mintage]

I don't think devastated is the right word now that I think about it. Rather disappointed, since I knew the chances were and probably still are, low. Thank you for the concern though!

Anyone know if skeyes has contingency plans in place if they'd have to cancel?

Cancel what exactly ?

Cancel what exactly ?

The FEAST 1 tests taking place end of march/beginning of april. I mean, my university classes have been suspended, I'm not really counting on their selections to continue as planned.

Edit: to clarify; I don't remember from 3 years ago how many people would be in the same room.

[Mintage]

So it seems that they aren't really cancelling, just looking into the best measures they could take.

FEAST postponed to probably half may

No mail/message on their website as of yet but I'd be extremely surprised if this would take place in roughly 2 weeks.
