Cabair , dont hold your breath. Been there and done that. I know your all desperatley looking for a bit of brightness at the end of the tunnel but its just an accountant with a torch.
Few leave Cabair without a very bad taste in thier mouths.
A few people get UK and JEA sponsohips from time to time, work 2 years for next to nothing (£400 or so a month) are treated like dirt ( no worse) and then move onto the airline. Not so bad I hear you say. Well wait till your here a few weeks and realise that FIs are the lowest form of life.
Most Cabair sponsorship bods spend 2 years in ops being promised this and that, much of which never happens. Then some get thier FI rating, work for little more and have to go to court to gain restitution. £13000 last case.
Go it alone. It will be less painful.
