Wind the neck in a bit AC. The funds FlyBe put in at Cabair and OAA are an interest free loan, taken back from salary over five years. That's almost £400 per month on top of a £600 per month loan payment for 11 years.

All it really means is those who have less of their own cash to kick in should apply at Cabair or OAA and those who need to borrow less can apply to any of the FTO's FlyBe partners with. Those who borrow less are better off, but all of them are paying for their training, with somewhat minor differences in costs at the various FTO's.

Anyone that has been reading Pprune for any length of time knows that FlyBe does cadet schemes at numerous FTO's and anyone who has bothered reading FlyBe's website (as all prospective applicants should be doing) will know it as well. Those who haven't received even a hint of sponsorship or conditional job offers probably have little sympathy for those who get on the FlyBe FTE scheme without doing due diligence and would whine now. I think there's even less sympathy for someone who didn't get picked by FlyBe who would then cry foul.

I think it speaks volumes about the character of FlyBe's management that they have chosen to show a vote of confidence in numerous FTOs. It also results in them getting diversity on their flight decks instead of a one FTO bias.
