British Airways Sponsorship Rumours

Hi everyone,

Like everyone else looking to start a career in aviation, I was peeved when I heard that BA had stopped their cadet sponsorship program. I have also read the numerous messages that say the "why would BA start the scheme again when they are getting enough pilots that self-sponsor now?", and yes I totally agree that it wouldn't make sense.

However, I have a friend at Uni whose mother is an air hostess for BA, and her pilot friends have been suggesting that the management at BA think the quality of pilots aren't as good as the BA scheme used to churn out (I know they are from the same flight schools, and no disrespect intended), but more importantly the shortage of pilots coupled with the apparent poor quality has lead to a rumour that BA may start the cadet scheme again in the next couple of years.

Has anyone got any info on this, or am I just clutching at straws?

Thanks
