i heard that the 100 GAA cadets will get a gaurantee job with gulfair after they finish is this even possible
No job guarantee. However, Oxford's training standards are high enough to guarantee a cockpit seat with any major airline!
Why so much? The catalog list price for oxford's integrated course is 40k Dinars (66k GBP)
You may have another deeper look at the prices.
66,000 for the Integrated course alone.
11,000-13,000 for accommodation.
5,000 for regulatory and Exam fees.
Total @ approx. GBP85,000
I do not think the GF national student in the 1970s at Oxford had to do this.
Yeah, not even those of 1998 if I'm not mistaken. But that was full cadet sponsorship program.
I met a few 'candidates' recently on my way through the sim building. What I found most interesting was that not one in that particular group knew anything about airplanes....zip. Surely if you are going to be hit with a bill of the amount quoted, you might have some knowlege about what you were getting into or even what it is all about, other than it is a good job....?
Day 2 assessment is considering the aviation industry knowledge of applicants. If they don't know what's in it for them, they are likely to fail!
But then again, what is there to inspire young Bahrainis? General Aviation is non-existent, military aviation is non-existant, there are no social clubs or groups, no Air Cadets... remote control planes are illegal.... you get the picture
The demand for pilots of Nationals is increasing. Not only in Bahrain, but also in the whole region. This is a chance for highly qualified national cadets with the most prestigious aviation academy in the world. Perfect fit I believe!
I think today is the last day of screening for the 100 applicants.
The assessment is still going on. They will continue to invite more applicants for few more days.
