sponsorship ???
Help a Yank get the big picture. I see the word "sponsorship" used a lot in these forums. What does it mean exactly in the context of flying in the EU ? I know some airlines, like LH, have ab initio programs ( called " cadet " in some places ). Do EU airlines have this type arrangement ? And what part does the military play in providing pilots to the airlines ? In the USA, it's the major ( and preferred ) source of pilots.
