Let's be honest, they'll fill their ranks with locals without breaking a sweat and until they encounter issues with low application numbers and/or lack of retention then I can't see the net being cast wider. I've long accepted that I won't be eligible to apply for the cadet scheme(s) of other national carriers. Quite rightly so if they can employ a citizen who more than meets the standard without having to go through the additional complexities of sponsorship, etc. Not what some people want to hear, but just my 2p worth.
Makes sense. This is the first year of an annual scheme however, so I wouldn’t rule it out in the future for those that can’t apply now!
