Info
Hello everyone.
Here's the info on financing that everyone seems to be interested in, which has come from one of the current cadets on the course.
The starting salery is around 25000. Starting. This then increases over 9 years till you are in line with the direct entry first officers in the company, around 66,000 a year. Once at this level you move onto a full first officer contract. On top of this, the company will give you the money to pay back the 109,000 training loan, around 15,000 a year. The only thing you touch your salery for is tax and interest. So the first year you will be taking home around 40,000 pounds to live off and pay the loan back.
As well, whilst flying you get trip allowances which vary with route, which can be spent down route so you don't touch your wage. Making the take home very good and much more competitive than other airlines.
This Saturday the cadets and pilots are at the flyers event at Heathrow Sofitel. I'd recommend going to gain as much information as possible.
There are 12 places again this year and competition will be tough for sure. I've applied and good luck to everyone
