Straight from the horses mouth of the recruitment team. No Launch of FPP this summer. There is a review of the scheme ongoing to see in what shape or form it may re launch in the future.

Personally I cannot believe it is a permanent move. Cadet schemes at EasyJet and Ryanair are beneficial to the airlines. They provide a stream of qualified people who they can pay less than an experienced pilot. The A321 issue is a red herring. The rules have changed to say that cadets with less than 6 months experience cannot land the A321. All that means is that they are pilot not flying for that sector.
