Sponsorship

For as long as we are prepared to pay for our training, I have a funny feeling employers will continue let us!

Hi Sam,

Try using the search function. This should get you started in any case.

Looking for sponsorship opportunities

Hi all,

I havn't posted on here for a while, been busy working.

Does anyone know if there will be any new sponsorship opportunities coming up with the airlines?

The last one I applied to was a few years ago - CTC McAlpine (EasyJet/JMC) which I was unsuccessful at.

If anyone can give me any useful info or even some advice, I would be grateful.

Thanks in advance.

Mark.

The first piece of advice anyone will give you on here in response to a question like that is use the search function.

The short answer to your question is - it's very unlikely.

There are no such things as sponsorship programmes anymore just ways for companys to grain as much out of you whilst putting you on a very long bond with a huge whopping bill! The Highlands airways 75k job rings a bell. From where I am now in my training I could complete and get a 320 or 73 rating and still have change from 75k!
Always read the small print very carefully!!

Okay thanks for the replies.

I am currently looking at the CTC Scheme as the application form is now open for cadet pilots.

Oh look - some other poor misguided soul who has completely misunderstood the Highland scheme. It really is very, very, very simple

You owe the company no money at all. Zilch. Nada. Rien. Diddly Squat. Zero. Sweet FA. Nil.

You do not pay back the cost of your training, period. It's all gratuit. So I suppose you could just about define it as a sponsorship - if that meets your obviously demanding criteria.

There is a enormous difference between being bonded and having a "huge bill" to foot. Highland Airways will not take a penny off you. The bond is just an abstract figure that decreases every month. It has no effect on your day to day life, your bank balance or any other aspect of your monetary wellbeing

Get a clue before you go badmouthing things like this in future please

ATPL Sponsorship

Hi All
I think Highland Airways are accepting victims for their cadet scheme. The closing date is May 2007.

[bri1980]

Why victims? I think that deserves some explanation!?!

Dream world?

Are there any companies that employ people straight off the street with no flying experience, then train them to fly with a view to getting a job within that company?

Cheers

Yes - Do a search, I think you'll find NetJets will take people with no flying exprience (not an airline but a bizjet). I think CTC will take on 0hr students in will try and place them with an airline too.

I am not really looking into scholorships but you might find them here.

Good luck

Oh my god!!
Sometimes I just need to jump in on these threads as they become rediculous!
I cannot believe "Dartagnan" wrote this:

I think the time of sponsorship is over and the only way to become a pilot, is to sponsor yourself.
just look at the websites selling tickets for 40-60 euros(or even 1 euro), if an airline start to sponsor wanabees, they are not going to be competitive.
i am a pilot, and the last job I have found was on the airbus320, I have to pay for my own training if I want fly the 320.
aviation has always been more and more expensive.regrettably it is a job for rich kids.

What a load of balony!!!
I did my training in Canada, instructed, converted and worked in the UK!
I never paid more than my initial training which came to $55,000CDN = 26,000GBP! I have type ratings and full ATPL. Never ever did I need to pay or hand out money! Now read my lips.....
" THE ONLY REASON AIRLINES ASK YOU TO PAY IS BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE YOU WILLING TO PAY!"
If i applied to a company and they asked me to pay a new type rating, I would laugh and walk away....then some inexperienced, young, cocky, power hungry, shinny jet hard on, would pay 28,000GBP. For what to sit in a cockpit?!?! Ha! Good luck with your family life, because you will never afford one at that rate....
I am proud at all the young pilots applying to the schemes! And proud of companies providing these schemes!
Good work to all in schemes, and all the best for people appling....do it the right way.

just as an aside...

since nowhere in the UK offers full scholarships, would it be cheaper to learn somewhere else abroad
