Unhappy

With you on this one mate. With SFT going down, I'm worried about how Cabair are going to get through this period. Hence my reduced enthusiasm about my invite for the BE aptitudes. I can't see BA doing the TEP scheme for about 4-5 years which means I'll be too old if I waited .

If succesful in getting a place on the BE scheme you've still got to worry about:

1) The airline could pull out. That leaves you with an extra 23k on top of your initial 32k to finish your training.
2) No job at the end. You wait up to 3 years for them to give you a position, and that will pay 15-16k after deductions.
3) Cabair go bust. In which case your f*%@&d.

Is it worth the risk? Although it maybe the only chance for a flying job within 2 years, I'm starting to think not .

Best of luck & maybe see you on the 20th.
