Just to add my 10 pence worth;
From the rumors going around, and they are only rumors, 'management' have struck a deal with OAT for some cadets , so anyone without commercial prop/jet experience is going to struggle.
I can't see the company paying to type rate anybody as it's all about the bottom line, so anyone applying without a current type rating you either don't stand a chance or will be asked to self fund the type course.
Those of you with a current type rating for the 75 or 73 get ready to be offered top of the line T&C's on a full-time contract!!!
Just feel for the guys on the current 70% contract who want to stay on and work, how's it going to work with the new joiners, are they going to be offered full time contracts over the guys stuck on the 70%.
Can see that this is going to get messy, what a massive surprise!!!
In all seriousness though, good luck to all who apply, just go into it with your eyes wide open, don't let them screw you over and apply all the good tips from LFF and you'll do just fine....
