In terms of what's available out there today the unnamed airline's cadetship is right up there and by today's standards is the holy grail in my opinion. Where else do you get such great career development opportunities and on top of that get paid during the training along with the additional benefit of not having to raid your family's bank accounts ? Every known cadetship out there that offers a direct place into the right hand seat demands at least £20,000, with the rest being £84.000 plus. These financial benefits cannot be highlighted enough, I know money is certainly not everything but it is arguably the single biggest factor to people not pursuing their pilot dreams.
