I dont think theres such a thing as full sponsorship anymore. The BA scheme died a death several years ago, leaving only part sponsorships available. Even then, you still had to contribute anything from 35k - 50k of your own money, in some cases. Competition for these schemes is fierce and unless your a 21 year old whizz kid, with the right surname and right uni education then forget it. The only true full sponsorship I can think of recently is probably the Highland Airways one. Even then, I think they only took one person onboard and theyve probably to do 2 years minimum in the Ops dept before let near a plane. Theyre probably bonded to a J31 thereafter for something ridiculous like 5 years.
