Chief Pilot (CP): Did you ever apply for a sponsorship scheme?
Applicant (AP): No.
CP: Why not?
AP: Errrr. I was afraid that if I wasnt selected it would look bad.
CP:
Dont shoot off your foot to spite your face. If you can apply for these schemes DO IT. If you dont get selected then get on with it just like everyone else. If your on a budget then train modular. Most Chief Pilots couldnt give a toss whether you payed 72k for integrated or 30k for a patch work quilt. As long as your the person for the job!
