I believe FTE offered their Flybe MPL students a ‘conversion’ to fATPL at favourable rates.
As has been pointed out these students were selected by the airline; in this case Flybe.The financial risk was with the student during the Jerez phase. The Exeter type rating & base training were funded by Flybe with I presume a ‘bonding scheme’.
The difference was that Flybe ceased trading on 5 March with C-19 impacting on passenger numbers.
EZY simply dumped their trainees***
Incidentally NATS also dumped their 128 (?) trainees as well. Now that was shortsighted.
***EDIT: Good news if CAT3C information is correct that EZY will complete the MPL training for licence issue.
