I'd question whether FlyBE have to contribute anything at all ...... all the candidates will go to Cabiar and flyBE will probably get a discount for their trade!!!!!
On the aircraft front, i'm a PPL and as far as i'm concerned if somone sponsors me, and gets my in the RHS, in the current climate I don't give a monkeys what it is
Also, someone tell me where you can do a modular ATPL for 32k???
