but it's not an apprenticeship if you're already qualified,
But you are not "qualified" yet to fly a 737 if you do not hold the type-rating!
To those others who are saying "I am a pilot - I do not need to work on the ground" - get a life - and some humility! This is a chance to eventually get a flying job with a major airline - WITH A FREE TYPE-RATING!!! Very few of these exist in Europe today.
The Jet2 Apprentice Scheme is worth considering for everyone with no light in sight. For everyone else it's not.
To rephrase on my previous comment - how mant fATPL holders have this magic "light in sight" these days?
In my book, this scheme is a brilliant idea to find highly motivated, at best intelligent to boot, people, to fill the positions of dispatcher, etc. No more, no less.
So a free type-rating at the end is not worth the wait then?
