I honestly would not accept it. Essentially the school want you to start on a course with them, or at least attend selection with them again, they make a profit either way.
It's not necessarily a lower level or less prestigious offer Sara98, in my view. You are actually invited to take ADAPT again right away (instead of waiting for 6 months) and be placed in pretty much the same program without the easyjet sponsorship.
Many thanks for your replies!!
Their invitation sounds like a way to make Stage 2 retakes join their self-sponsored ATPL course, which is undoubtedly a valuable opportunity as well.
Anyway, what I honestly don’t understand is why they relate the “White Tail” integrated ATPL course (which is the fourth pathway they mention on their website:
CAE Oxford Aviation Academy) to easyJet if this course is actually not related to the easyJet sponsorship!! In the email they sent they say “
you would still be able to apply for easyJet as a White Tail graduate” but…as a White Tail graduate, wouldn’t I be able to apply for any airline company, including easyJet but not only them?!? I really can’t see any obvious link between “White Tail” graduation and easyJet.
Moreover, I can’t either find any advantage in undertaking Route 4 (“White Tail” Integrated ATPL) over someone who decides to join the self-sponsored OAA ATPL course they call "APP FIRST OFFICER course"…these two programmes seem to be exactly the same thing except for their different names.
Am I wrong? Please tell me if I am misunderstanding something in your opinion because I really need your point of view!!
