Good Luck!
Thomsonfly.com Pilot Approved Training Scheme
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thomsonfly.com and Flight Training Europe are jointly launching our Pilot Approved Training Scheme and have places for cadets. Successful cadets will have a real opportunity to become a first class pilot.
What we are looking for are people who can demonstrate real commitment, and who have consistently produced high standards in their experience to date.
The ability to be flexible, consider others within their teams and understand the changing world of Aviation and Tour Operators is essential. We are looking for people who have what it takes to be commanders of the future, whilst never forgetting the most important asset – customers.
To be considered you’ll be between the age of 19-26 on 1st January 2005. You must have a minimum of 3 A’level passes or equivalent including two of the following subjects; Maths, Physics, Economics and Chemistry. A Graduate degree in Aeronautics or Engineering would be a distinct advantage.
You must have the right to reside and work within the UK plus a full valid passport with no restrictions. You must also have the ability to obtain a JAR class one medical.
Applications can only be considered if submitted via Flight Training Europe’s web page up untill the 21st November 2004 inclusive.
Candidates selected for the Pilot Approved Training Scheme will undergo training with Thomsonfly.com’s provider, Flight Training Europe (FTE) located at Jerez in Spain. The course delivered by FTE leads to the award of the JAR Frozen ATPL. The duration of the fully residential course is sixty two weeks.
The Pilot Approved Training Scheme is a self- funded scheme. Under this scheme, the individual will contract directly with FTE, who will provide advice on funding arrangements available to each individual.
Throughout the course cadets will be mentored by the airline’s designated Liaison Training Captain and training progress will be monitored by the airline. Upon successful completion and provided cadets have reached a suitable standard, they will be eligible for employment with Thomsonfly.com and for up to six months after graduation without any further selection being required. If there is a delay of more than six months between completion of training and commencement of employment, Thomsonfly.com may require some further selection to confirm continued suitability.
