Logical reason for Sponsorships?

Hi Guys,

Can someone explain to me the logical reason for offering Sponsored cadet schemes with so many pilots qualified at different levels? It annoys me when you read the description "looking for motivated individuals with a passion for flying".

The motivation and passion comes from people who have always aspired to be a pilot and put themselves through training working hard to cover the costs only to be constantly overstepped by cadets just doing it as its handed to them on a plate!

I contacted BA regarding their latest scheme i have a CPL MEIR with ATPL credits and 1000TT so don’t meet the cadet level as over qualified. On the same note i don’t have 2000TT and a TR so not qualified enough but people with basic A-Levels will be sitting doing our dream job before us having waited years!

I know this might seem like I’m ranting on but need it off my chest as i am starting to hate this industry with a passion and just can’t believe what has happened to it. You would not train as a doctor/lawyer/Engineer and be over stepped by someone who is not even qualified and with no experience!
