Cabair have a long and distinguished history of charging a fortune to candidates for airline cadet selection days. Used to be £50 here, £150 there, now they are actually selecting people for type ratings they can charge through the roof.

I expect part of the selection process will be those old GCSE Maths and Physics papers and a team of interns and instructors tasked to mark them all for nowt. The sim assessment in a Frasca or if you are lucky, whichever heap on stilts they are using for MCC
courses.

Stay away from schemes like these - 4 pilots, thats all they are after and you have to pay through the nose for the privilige. The more people who stay away, the greater the chance ideas like this will die a death. If you want to lobby against this sort of outrageous fleecing after a fleecing you all need to do is start telling BALPA to get its crew councils to change things in the airlines.
