If you wanna get picky, technically they aren't recruiting Pilots but idividuals who will train to be pilots.......did any of you guys scroll down on the recruitment section of Britannia's website??????
Part one failed me thinks ;-) and people were phoning them
From the website:
Pilot Sponsorship Scheme
This is a rare chance to realise your ambitions of becoming a pilot. We ’re launching our Pilot Sponsorship Scheme, and have places for six cadets.
Our Training provider is BAE Systems based in Jerez, Spain. Successful cadets will have a real opportunity to become a first class Pilot.
To be considered you ’ll be between the age of 19-26 on 1 February 2003. You must have a minimum of 3 A level passes including two of the following subjects; Maths, Physics, Economics and Chemistry. A degree in one of these subjects would be a distinct advantage.
Ideally, you ’ll have flying experience, and familiarisation of up to 30 hours. What we are really looking for are people, who can demonstrate real commitment, and who have consistently produced high standards in their experience to date.
The ability to be flexible, consider others within their teams and understand the changing world of Aviation and Tour Operations is essential. We are looking for people who have what it takes to be commanders of the future, whilst never forgetting the most important asset -customers.
You must have the right to reside and work within the UK plus a full valid passport with no restrictions. You must also have the ability to obtain a JAR Class one medical. Verification of the appropriate eye sight test will be required on application.
It takes real commitment and dedication to train to be a pilot. And it costs too. Over £50,000 in fact. But we ’re giving you the valuable opportunity to achieve your goals for much less. Invest £15,000 of your own money, and we will invest the rest in your future. Bonding arrangements will apply.
For an information pack please email
[email protected] All initial enquiries are handled by airline appointments.
Closing date: Tuesday 24 September 2002.
Interviewing will commence in September 2002.
Succeed and you ’ll start training in February 2003.

========================
There are two ways the 30hrs thing reads, one is more than thirty don't apply or alternatively I'd argue the "ideally" means they are flexible..........if you ain't in it you can't win it
