As I understand it you do not have to have any previous flying experience to apply to BA and Aer Lingus and, correct me if I'm wrong, bmi aswell?
However what about the other airlines like British European, Air2000 etc that seem to recruit around Aug/Sep, do you need a PPL with a certain number of hours to apply for their partial sponsorship courses? Or is it only the ones that are run by Cabair? Which ones are these, can anyone tell us??
