Can anyone give me one rational reason why BA have a new sponsered program?
Don't get me wrong, anything that employs more pilots is a good thing and I applaud it but can anyone give me one sane rational economic reason why BA are paying for the training of wannabes when now there are plenty (to put it politely) of us who have already gone through the process that BA is now voluteering to pay for? From newly qualified guys to type rated experienced guys.
There are only three things I can think of
1 BA actually think there may actuallly at loooooooooooong last be a pilot shortage
2 BA senior management have shares in the FTO's involved
3 BA senior management have too many close relations that cannot affored to pay for their own CPL/IR
I know where my money is.
