Yes. Heaven forbid. A company that lets its employees have time off.

sour grapes from behind_the_second_midland I sense. Besides it's nothing to do wtih Atlantic, it's an Air Atlantique sponsorship, Atlantic run their own.

I rang Kay today, she said she was going to get a date from the flight instructor and then let us know by good old electronic mail

So start checking your inboxes people

Air Atlantique selection timescale

Hi all,

Regarding Air Atlantique;
Could anyone inform me how long it takes for a successful applicant to be processed through the selection for pilot sponsorship? I have recently managed to fullfill their minimum requirements and intend to launch an application, when is the next round of test starting?

Thanks for your help.

The sponsership recruitment happens whenever there is the need. CV can be held for a while before invite to initial interview. I would hazard the next intake will be around the end of the year or early in the new year. From call for interview to start date can be very quick, a couple of weeks! Good luck with the application.

Thanks for the help. Sounds good, reason I asked is because my current job is going to send me away for a year in July and I need to get things moving!

Air Atlantique Final Interview

Hi people, well I have gotten through the testing so far for the Air Atlantique sponsorship, and have my final interview this wednesday.

Anyone got any advice, had some interview experience, any things I should know? I've tried finding details on routes but can't find anything, I'm sure it's because they are ad hoc charter etc, but I wanna be sure. Decent things to ask at interview?

Any help very much appreciated!

Pilot sponsorship - Air Atlantique?

Hi,

I have been told many things about the pilot sponsorship offered by Air Atlantique. I am currently doing my module studies with Bristol Ground School and am nearing the end of the course and considering my options for the next stage. My question is does anyone have an experience with Air Atlantique and does the sponsorship prove to be valuable to gaining a job in the airline market. Also another option i am looking at is the professional flight training course with Anglo American and becoming an instructor over their for valuable hour building and then converting licenses in the UK.

All comments and feedback appreciated.


Regards Mike

Re: Pilot sponsorship?

You'd be bonded to Air Atlantique for 5 years. Check your PMs.

Re: Pilot sponsorship - Air Atlantique?

The full commitment is 6 years, the first two years are spent gaining the frozen ATPL, within this time you are expected to undertake some operational duties.

I have just recieved an application form for the sponsorship however I still need to find out more information myself, such as what aircraft willbe flown once the ATPL is gained and whether ud just be expected to fly ad hoc charter flights etc.

Well, my contract states 14 months is the typical length of the training phase, followed by a 4 year bond period with the company. it's a smidge over 5 years to be accurate.

What did you expect?
You say that like a bad thing... getting paid for flying aeroplanes, and having your training fully paid for. Jump at the chance!
