not easy

Hi,

There are alarge number of threads to answer these questions.

But simply put its not as easy as "i'll get a sponsor" there are quite literally 1000's of people looking for a very few sponsorship spots.

be aware also that some of the sponsor ships are actually not quite sponsorships. A few still require you to pay for the training they just provide a job after.

The RAF is a big commitment and a tough thing to get into, an airline sponsor will also require quite a bit of dedication to the airline. (most require between 4-6 years of employment after you complete the course)

Don't rely on a sponsorship to become a pilot. Sure apply to all the ones you can. vist the airlines websites, visit the flying schools websites. They will often give information on sponsorships.

Sorry i can't be more helpful, but a few hours of research is all it will take.

Realise very few airlines are actually sponsoring atm. It may change but i'm not sure how long away that is.

(visit the Cabair website i believe an airline or 2 go through them, same with CTC and FTE)

SS.
