You lot must be mugs to fall for this.

It may well be a sound company but the whole premise is that there will be one place for every 400odd applicants.

Thats rubbish odds. Add your travel costs to the 4 sessions and you are looking at wasting well over £200 apiece.


You WON'T be the one to be selected will you. Lets face it:

a) They will only get enough applicants to send one or two people.

b) Of those one or two there might be one or two who apply who are in some way connected with the management of the scheme. A son of a friend of a friend for example... Oh sure he will have to pass the tests.... no question of him seeing the papers beforehand... and he was very good at interview.... completely impartial selection. Cough.

Get real people. If these people are airline pilots as they have claimed then you can bet their bottom dollar they have either friends or family members who want to be airline pilots like them. They went to the pub one night and came up with a most cunning idea for financing that ambition.

I wish I had thought of it first.

And they can be all above board about it. The only rule broken might be showing someone a test ahead of it being taken and then picking someone at interview whom you already know.

Neither of which is going to get anyone in jail or even found out.

Hey - presto, an ATPL course for the son/nephew/best mate.

There is no way this scheme is going to run for years and years is there...? There are only about 450 new pilots a year in the UK and they need this many just to send slightly less than one cadidate per annnum.
