Loganair of Scotland still offer a deal of sorts which pays for the type rating to low hour pilots. It's a £12k loan from RBS I think which is in the candidates name. They then pay the candidate 1/36th plus a percentage over Bank of England interest base rate in addition to salary (starting circa £23k) over 3 years. If you leave that's fine with them and you pay off the remainder of your loan. Stay for 3 years and you'll pay nothing for your type rating and probably be up for a command as well...
