Is it just me or is the 'sponsorship' not that great?
I fully appreciate that sponsorship schemes today are different to those run in the pre 9/11 days and serve as an enabler to a career as a pilot rather than a free-ride. However I can not feel anything but dissapointment at the structure of the Flybe offer.
Speaking as one of the church mice contingent of wanabbees (ie poor as) this scheme is not going to help me in any way that I can see. I have no means of providing the 40K in securites nor do I have access to the remaining funds without taking on an unsecured loan which I don't think the bank would do.
Much better are the recently run Oxford shemes whereby all the neccessary finding is accessed via the bank without the need for securities. I went for those but I don't think I will bother with Cabair/Flybe's.
