Hello! I am currently a student in France and was born here, and I'm now in Highschool (Science) and I hope to become an airline pilot. I will not tell you about my knowledge on A320 / B737..
I'm also originally Turkish, and know that Turkish Airlines have an academy, they want 4 years University degree so it's not for me as I want to applicate after a Highschool. (I know Turkish F/O in Sunexpress for example that doesn't have University degree).
In a year I'll finish high school, and I need to find me a flight school, so I have some questions.
Question 1: As someone from France, there is just ENAC which is very selective, 3000 application all year, and at the end, 20 graduated.. And we have to study "Prepa", which is 2 year after highschool and is really most diffiicult to access then University.. There is also Air Ffrance Cadet but it's closed at the moment, and some flying school but very expansive without any help for fianncement unfortunately..
So, I search a formation with sponsorship in Europe, like CTC I think, but I don't know if a flying school will finance through the sponsorship our formation, and then and I'll repay the training when I begin to work as an FO in an airline, (that's exactly what i search).
Because being a student, and my parents are not directly able to pay a training, (which costs around 80.000-100.000€ with Type Rating !) I really do not know what to do.
Is there a sponsorship flying school, I searched but I just found CTC, Stella and I'm not exactly sure of their conditions, I contacted them but I don't have an answer yet, so maybe should I take a loan from the bank ? Is it possible ?
And my last question, if I come to a country for training,(at only 18) do I have to lease a house in myself, (work+training) or do a school help us ?
Waiting your answers, thanks !
