Air Atlantique still run a scheme AFAIK.

The Company provides accommodation for the first phase of sponsorship.
You will undertake a tightly controlled training course, which will involve period of ground school, self-study and flying training elements as appropriate.
A period of duties within the Airline Operations Department along with many other operational and general tasks will also be required of you during the first phase of your sponsorship.

Highland Airways also ran one, not sure when they will run another

I'm pretty sure all of the companies under Air Atlantique offer cadet schemes. You effectively become a slave for the company whilst they PAY YOU a limited subsitence allowance, give you free flying and pay for your ATPL MEIR and give you a job...

I see your location is Latvia but it is always worth a phone call or an e-mail. You have nothing to lose!

There are probably a few more lurking around somewhere but those are ones that I know of. Hope that helps.
