Anyone dropping out of an interview that would get them on such a scheme is a f**king idiot frankly. I'd give anything to work for a company like Flybe but if i wanted to i'd have to pay for my own JOC and be bonded for a type rating after spending 60k on training. And i still would if it got me a job.
Airline schemes with FTE and OAT are the best things going these days. And as for the CTC comment, well you're a muppet mate. 65k for a modular course with Bristol distance learning which costs around £3,000 and flying DA42's which cost about $15 an hour to run on fuel. Someone is making a lot of money somewhere within CTC my friends!
A few of you people really need to ask yourselves if you really want to do this cause it doesn't sound like you do! There are people out there who would give anything to be in your position. Turning down interviews, you w**kers.
