Some people don’t have the luxury of being able to just get a £30k loan to pay for flying as they have other commitments, families, mortgage etc - so this scheme is perfectly suited for them. If you have started your ATPL exams then you will be viewed as having a long term plan. Let’s face it, the ATPLs are a hard slog to get through if you don’t think you can finish training!
I don’t think the last bit is correct, people who already hold any ATPL modules are deemed as “over qualified” as BA stated this on the live teams call. They are literally taking people with little flying and PPL holders by the looks of things!
I believe people with ATPL modules should be given a chance on this scheme as well.
