Lies and trying to get away with it again. You had
NO cadet program with turkish airlines. Turkish airlines handpick their own students through a rigorous selection process, to which only turkish nationals can apply to and through turkish airlines careers website only. They run their own school, and when capacity is full, they
outsource training to other training providers such as BAA. These students were
hired by turkish airlines already before they even stepped into BAA. Once passing the turkish airlines assessment they had their flight training, accommodation, living expenses paid by the airline and on top of that they were receiving a salary as well. So after investing so much into the students already, it would make sense to have them work for the company no?
Wizz air has stopped cooperating with BAA for ab initio training, long before COVID as they were unsatisfied with the training quality BAA was providing. Even now for type rating, the students which Wizz Air sends to BAA have the longest delays, finishing always many months after their peers who start at the same time at other locations.
Even now during the hiring boom, Wizz Air nor Turkish Airlines will
not renew training contracts with BAA due to the fact that BAA doesn't have the quality nor the capacity to train anyone.

LOT program was suspended
after COVID, after the bulk of the cadets graduated. Furthermore their own careers website was open during the same time, where they were recruiting non type rated low hour pilots. They even took on students from their own academy, so the evidence suggests that the COVID reason you are claiming is simply false.
Again you fail to address the fact that it is only your school, where students pay for a job, but do not get it. There were many airlines and cadet programs going on and about pre-covid. Volotea with CAE, Aer Lingus with FTE Jerez, Easyjet with CAE.... how is it that before, during and after COVID, the cadets from those schools get jobs but from yours not. Not even in Avion Express, which is owned by the same company which owns you, as you have stated before. Your school is literally the only exception, where airlines cadets graduate unemployed and this is a
FACT
