I believe Aer Lingus opened it up again. I also believe MANY MANY cadets/FOs leave Aer Lingus at the first opportunity.
I understand in a way, why not! Just frustrating coming from somewhere thats not going to be even a fraction of the cost to complete it. The way I suggest means they still get the money back, just investing in the pilot first. I wouldn’t even mind if they added 10% on top as a charge to complete the training on a fully funded basis, requiring payback on commencement of working.
I haven’t seen much negative things about Aer lingus, but then again, i’m not in the industry so not 100% on who’s best to go for. But if i’m honest, anyone that would fund training i’d be interested in, as the oppertunity for someone like me would be too great to miss out on!
