I went down to FTE in Feb, did all the aptitude tests and the interview.... if i remember rightly, the interview itself was fairly straightforward, all the usual why do you want to be in this industry, where do you see yourself in 5-10 years time, do you have any preferences on type of aircraft or airline, also do you have any experience, if not why not.. then, they give you a problem to try and sort out, then they want you to explain why you have chosen that answer and what contingencies are in place in case this happens etc etc... as for the finance, im not too sure, i decided to come to CTC, but i believe its a secured loan via a bank called BBVA, they require a business plan to say how you expect to pay it back IF you didnt get a job at the end.
