I'm willing to put a 10 Dinar bet that tradiational GF sponsorship as you used to know it is nomore. Their last attempt of offering fully-fledged sponsorship was marred in favouritism and corruption. I dont believe GF can afford to be cashing out 30k dinars - sans type rating/LOFT costs to all abinitio cadets. What they might offer is conditional employment providing you pay for your own abinitio training.
