Hello,

Which other schools apart from OAT?

Regards

[Badgast]

From what I can remember: Jerez, Nls and Kls (Netherlands) and Ctc. Anyone know more?

[Megaton]

So, in other words, cough up huge sums, keep your nose clean, pay your bills and get recommendation. Simple really!

FTE Jerez, OAT & CAT are the only ones....i personally went to jerez and got into ba under the ssp scheme...

[Badgast]

People of the Kls and Nls are also being interviewed by Ba, maybe not that much as Jerez and Oxford, but they do seem to be taking ab initio's from these (very expensive) dutch schools.

Guys - I assume CAT is Cabair ?

[Crazypilot A]

Yup - CCAT is cabair...missed a 'c'

[supercruise593]

Bristish Airways ?

hello!

I am surprised there are lot of thread about low cost recruitment etc but few about Bristish Airways... Does BA recruit low timer ? or only experimented pilots?
what are the conditions exactly ?

thank you!

Yes, BA does take low timers. They are called SSP's (Self Sponsored Pilots) On average BA takes about 2 SSP's a month, and interviews about 16 every couple of months. However they only ask integrated students from FTE, Oxford and Cabair to interviews.

[dartagnan]

if they take 2 guys a month from Oxford, it means the rest are unemployed.

So what 's the point to spend all this money?

[sam34]

OK?, many thnaks.
I have not known they asked integrated students...
Cesco, by low timer I mean students with only CPL/IR MCC JAA without experience.

I didn't say that they take 2 from Oxford, I said they take about 2 a month. They (taking a wild stab in the dark) most probably get jobs with airlines other than BA? Maybe?

Whats the point? Worked out nicely for me, and I didn't go to Oxford.
