hahaha ok mate good for you. I do seem to remember flybe offering a broadly similar employment package, Cityjet have a cadet program with FTE and of course BA Mainline is attractive too, DHL wasn't too shabby if/when they hire and of course TFly is very good if they ever hire from their cadet program again. And this isn't like the company is paying for your training like the good old days, yes a JOC, maybe some upset training and of course a type rating, but all of the above I mentioned will also pay for your type rating too (which is the most important bit). This isn't BACF bashing, I work for them and thoroughly enjoy my work (even if it is still work
) and I'm very pleased with how I've been treated by the company. What I'm saying to you is that it isn't the be all and end all, and just because you get a lanyard and a yellow vest at FTE doesn't mean your 'in the club' either. Just ask the Thomsonfly cadets from 2007.
