Pilot Sponsorship Opportunities

Hey guys.

I am currently a student pilot training for my PPL and I am also at university working towards a degree.

Sure you've heard all of this before... I've wanted to become an airline pilot since an early age but my financial status is stopping me from achieving my ambition.

Anyway, I understand that very few airlines offer pilot sponsorship anymore and banks are very hesitant about giving out large loans.

After I graduate from university, I want to continue training to become an airline pilot but preferably with the financial help of an airline. I understand that with a PPL and driving license, Atlantic Airlines (a cargo airline in the UK) offer their own pilot sponsorship scheme, but I also want to know about any other airlines?

I've been told about Air France and Qantas. Perhaps an airline in Asia or the Middle East?

Can somebody give me some information on the various sponsorship schemes out there?

Thanks.
