Granted the experience will be useful to some degree, if not just to gain exposure and a consideration for what goes on outside of the FD. But the requirements are completely absurd, and it is not an apprenticeship.
Why can't this be open to those who wish to gain a f-atpl and subsequently a position as an FO with Jet2?? Perhaps then, a 'pilot apprenticeship' would seem more fitting.
It should not be aimed at those already qualified; what is the point?
