Interviews, jobs & sponsorshipDo ya feel lucky, Punk? Well do ya? If so, here's the place to swap the hot gen on who's sponsoring or employing, their selection criteria, and where those oh so elusive first jobs can be spotted in the wild. Watch out for the tumbleweeds...
thanks for that post and the update.
I had heard i had gotten through as well but heard nothing after that, I had phoned when Kay wasnt in the office!
Hopefully see you in coventry soon anyway.
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 suppose you got the same email as me today. I am going on the 26th at 11. What about you? Glad that we have a date for it now! Something to look forward to!
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?
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!
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?
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.
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!
