Looks like there’s a bit of confusion going on where ShIfTy is referring to the Jet2 Pilot Apprenticeship where the successful applicants work in various Jet2 ground departments for 12 months (receiving a salary) before they attend a fully Jet2 funded Boeing 737 type rating and go on to fly as a (salaried) Jet2 pilot.
The candidates do have to fund their own way through to CPL and MEIR with MCC and JOC.
Megamc seems to be referring to something completely different.
