Hi,
Well i thought of that and here i am, a C4 for one of the UK's leading charter airlines. Unfortunately i have yet to even start any kind of pilot training as to be honest i dont have the money and my folks aint too hot in it either but here's some thing i did learn.
There are a few and i mean a few charter airlines out there that offer sponsorship to INTERNAL applicants only! Where it be you working on the ground, in the air or where ever they want you to stay part of the "family".
Now i didn't know this until i started when i mentioned to a CCDM that i wanted to drive the thing and she told me all about it! The next day i met an FO who spent 2yrs as cabin crew then bam, rhs.
Now i know it dosen't happen everyday and competion is tough as per usual but it would mean more of a chance than the odd BA sponsorship etc that is open to everyone.
One thing she did mention tho, go to an cabin crew interview wanting to be a pilot and you wont get the job!
Anyhow, thought i'd add my 2p worth!
Stu
p.s. I'm not gay, infact seeing a very lovely hostess with the mostest from another airline as competion for the girls aint that much
oh yeah, the job aint that bad either!!
