Yes but it's not the degree that's the useful part it's the fact that you get 9k a year, so that's 27k with type rating, plus a maintanence loan of upto 5k a year which will change a lot for hopeful pilots.
And only available to cadet schemes.
No the funding is available to all integrated students at oaa or ctc
A pretty worthless degree then
As I said it's not the degree that's best part. Think of it as a bonus on the side. You get a bachelors degree with honours in professional aviation and pilot practice. And dispite it being a bit worthless, never the less it's something else to write on a CV and it does provide a pilot with the requirements to move on to a masters degree later on in his/her career.
