@CaptainKing,

I see you're from RSA..why dont you check with South African, they operate a scheme only for SA citizens..then, there's going to be other airlines such as Etihad, who are looking for rapid expansion in the next few years.

I also noted your age. For now, work hard to achieve the necessary grades, because most airlines that do have a sponsored cadet programme require high caliber students, many requiring an A in Maths and English, and a minimum of a B in physics. (try looking up the site for Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, Kenya Airways, South African Airways, Etihad etc for requirements into the cadet programmes)

Most airlines look for qualified citizens aged 18+, but keep looking, as these change from time to time. Cathay Pacific, for example, also requires a dimploma or a degree for you to be considered.

Hope this has helped, and all the best with your flying dreams!
