Recently got rejected from the Ryanair mentored/Gateway route after submitting my documents

After that, AFA offered me the Whitetail APS MCC route instead (same simulators/instructors, Boeing focused). I took some time to consider other options and applied to another APS school, but got rejected there as well, so I came back to AFA and sent them my preferred course dates for the Whitetail program.

At the moment I’m still waiting for a reply from them.

I wanted to ask if anyone here has gone through a similar situation:

Rejected from the mentored route but later did the Whitetail APS MCC?

Did it still help you get into Ryanair later as an external applicant?

How difficult was it compared to the mentored path?
