The only was to describe this training programme is a massive gamble. If you’ve got a spare £40k (inc living expenses) that you’re happy enough to risk losing then go for it.
If not, do you really want to be the guinea pig charging into this?
why not take 12 months to get some experience in another job away from aviation? It’ll give you a backup for future downturns (or even full automation!)
By that point you’ll have more of an idea which ‘jobs’ are genuine, and if the upturn really is as strong as you’re relying on to actually have some work then you won’t have missed the boat.
Once Ryanair runs out of people willing to pay to fly (yes that’s what this is without an employment contract) they’ll drop the cost and start giving out real contracts.
