if airline sponsore cadets, so why do you think you will get a job in an airline??
Airline prefer guys with 0 hours, 20-24 years old.
and what all the schools in europe do? they train pilots,ok!!! and then what??
I know few guys who found a flying job after their FAA to JAR convertion .and they found jobs in the worse airlines.
a convertion, ok! but not from the begining!
why do i have to do the same convertion like a guy with 250 hours and no commercial flight experience.
by the way:CAA is for the civil aviation authorithy, i do nt care of the CAA...if i have to convert,I would prefer to go to Ireland, but for now, I could have jobs worldwide because I m an ICAO ATP pilot!
