Sponsorship programmes?
PPRuNe Handmaiden
If you don't fancy airlines but do fancy bizjets, keep a very close eye in Flight International if you're interested in a sponsorship. There's more than one job going.
You will have to show a very high degree of motivation and initiative for this job(s).
Details will be in Flight International very soon.
That's all I can say.

Any full sponsorship opportunities?
Hi all,
I just wonder if there is any chance to find full sponsorship for pilot training(Frozen ATPL) in Europe,better say for JAA licences?
Maybe any other advice on getting finance for whole training?
Really want to start training but,since foreigner,not eligible for loan in UK,or Spain,where main FTO's are located.
Cheers,Ron.

yep mate,I've heard about that,they do training through OAT,but it's self sponsored scheme,so you still need to fund your money,of course you can apply for loan,but since I'm not resident of UK,I can't apply,casue you need to have assets to secure your loan.
Regards,Ron.
P.S appreciated for all replies guys,maybe one gonna be right
all info welcomed

the most difficult part of achieving a fATPL is the financial struggle, so if you got a full sponsoriship, it would make it all too easy and spoil the fun !
That's why airlines don't do full sponsorships anymore.
Everyone can wake up in the morning, learn to fly full time and go play polo at the weekend !
How about working full time, learning to fly and having a mortgage, a wife and kids ? Far more exciting !
And that's why the French and Germans still do sponsorhips... they are boring gits !

Air Atlantique still run a scheme AFAIK.
"Current Sponsorship
CADET PILOT SPONSORSHIP
Air Atlantique offers CPL pilot sponsorship courses throughout the year. The ideal candidates for selection must meet the following basic requirements;
a) Hold a valid PPL (A)
b) Hold a valid Class One JAR Medical
c) Hold a valid UK driving licence
d) Be aged between 18 and 25 years
e) Be in possession of the right to live and work within theEU
If you are successful, you will be required to relocate to Coventry on a permanent basis.
The Company provides accommodation for the first phase of sponsorship.
You will undertake a tightly controlled training course, which will involve period of ground school, self-study and flying training elements as appropriate.
A period of duties within the Airline Operations Department along with many other operational and general tasks will also be required of you during the first phase of your sponsorship.
In recognition of the Sponsorship provided an agreement for a minimum period of approximately four years after qualification is required. You can expect to qualify with a CPL/IR (Frozen ATPL) within approximately 18 months, after which time, the remaining period of the sponsorship will be the minimum expected duration of employment within the Air Atlantique Group.
If you are interested in applying for Cadet Pilot Sponsorship, please contact
Margaret Royle on 02476 882600 or via email to [email protected] for an application form. "
http://www.airatlantique.co.uk/
Highland Airways also ran one, not sure when they will run another
http://www.highlandairways.co.uk/cgi...etschemes.html
I'm pretty sure all of the companies under Air Atlantique offer cadet schemes. You effectively become a slave for the company whilst they PAY YOU a limited subsitence allowance, give you free flying and pay for your ATPL MEIR and give you a job...
I see your location is Latvia but it is always worth a phone call or an e-mail. You have nothing to lose!
There are probably a few more lurking around somewhere but those are ones that I know of. Hope that helps.

cheers boingy,
yeah,you right,and I probably try to contact for air atlantic,even that it seems I have only 1 year until deadline and I need to obtain PPL
I believe for UK driving licence they are not that strict,I have EU driving licence yeah I know,that if you get through sponsorship pay is crap,but what can you do if don't have opportunity to fund on your own,and you have passion for flying and aviation career
thanks mate,I see what gonna happen
FOR HIGH HOPES:
I believe you are wrong there,I might agree it's more fun to have mortgage
but I think that they just don't wanna spoil their income and fund 100K euros for each,cause the reasons most companies say,like after 9/11 we stop sponsorship doesn't make any sense,if somebody from world known terr... want to do something,they can pay to learn unfortunately they can afford it.

I dont think theres such a thing as full sponsorship anymore. The BA scheme died a death several years ago, leaving only part sponsorships available. Even then, you still had to contribute anything from 35k - 50k of your own money, in some cases. Competition for these schemes is fierce and unless your a 21 year old whizz kid, with the right surname and right uni education then forget it. The only true full sponsorship I can think of recently is probably the Highland Airways one. Even then, I think they only took one person onboard and theyve probably to do 2 years minimum in the Ops dept before let near a plane. Theyre probably bonded to a J31 thereafter for something ridiculous like 5 years.

Okay, so you use the word probably so it appears you don't actually know. However if you are right why is 5 years "ridiculous"?

If an airline offers you an opportunity like that, a full sponsorship in return for a couple of years of your time then, to me, that is a fantastic deal!
I had to finish uni+work for a couple of years, then take a massive loan to get where I am and would gladly swap my debt for a five year commitment to an airline, especially one that offered a real education in flying!
