The sponsorship scheme is a fantastic thing. You get your training paid for...and you get a free house to live and spending money whilst you do it !
For Atlantique you would be put on a Cessna 310 or 406 for 18months, doing some real fun flying (50ft over the sea at 200 kt) and you would be flying max hours which means you would be a captain quicker when put onto the ATR.
Just think about it....there are so many low houred pilots out there with 60 grand of debt over there head and little chance of a job that would dream of getting onto the scheme ! People think they can go to Oxford and pay 60 grand then walk into a jet job with no probs; it doesnt happen.
Good Luck
