It was a very useful and informative day, but they didn't announce anything new unfortunately. BA will be running FPP again this year and for the foreseeable future. Jet2 are taking on fATPL 'pilot apprentices' (work in operations for 18 months before getting a type rating to fly with them) again this autumn and hope to do so again in the future. CTC were advertising the Qatar MPL scheme (they were noticably less keen to talk about Flexicrew terms and conditions :rolleyes:) and there was lots of sound advice from some of the smaller flying schools that exhibited.

Any word on how many they are taking?
