If I were looking at starting this course now, I would hold off on signing anything that would commit me to anything financially until we start hearing what the current MPL cadets in the pipeline at both CAE and L3 are being told. Shouldn’t have to wait too long - there seem to be courses finishing every month or so.
Yes the hiring landscape may look different in 18-24 months once you’ve finished the course, but if their hiring is delayed then you should expect a knock on effect on your own as they are all in the queue ahead of you. Do you have a plan for how you will support yourself / repay your loans if the delay is 12, 18, 24 months? How will you keep current during this time? Plenty to think about.
Might even be worth asking CAE point blank about the status of their most senior cohort of MPLs who haven’t yet joined EasyJet. (And get the answer in writing.)
