Based on what I've seen, 80%+ of self sponsored guys at FTE are getting airline jobs within a year of leaving. FlyBe and Aer Lingus have actually been coming to FTE to interview self sponsored guys, and Vueling have asked the school for guys to interview.

I imagine it's a combination of FTE actively trying to get people jobs as well as the airline industry's demand for pilots at the moment.

I was speaking to one of their advisors last week. He informed me that, out of the last 180 cadets, 161 have been able to land jobs.

Hey all! Thought I'd post in this thread instead of starting a new thread on the same subject.

But to the point, I'm looking to start a course in June/July this year and I hope any current students or graduates would be able to tell us what the employment outlook is looking like at present for students at the school?

I know EZY and Norwegian have taken grads recently. Although I've seen a lot of guys on LinkedIn still looking for jobs quite a while after graduating. Good luck

Placed, or do they have to move their arses and find that job for themselves ?
Does this include modular students ?

Hi all, see some of you were wondering about modular people. I have some people I know who know modular graduates from there and they've got jobs with aer lingus and thomas cook apparently.

Also know a recent FTE grad. All people in his class, integrated and modular, had jobs before they left.

Those guys are looking forward to pay 40K GBP for a A320 TR at EasyJet?

I think it would be better to find a hobby for all those who pay for their TR. They are not aviators. They are looking for "likes" and comments on ther "success stories" and nice photos in social networks. But talented guys who really love aviations struggling because all those (sometimes really stupid and lazy) guys already paid and take their seats. Do not change real things by this fake that you have to pay for your TR and LT! When everybody STOP pay to fly - everything will be good!

Thank you for attention.

Yeah it pisses me off when I see those insta-kids sharing pictures of them doing a type rating when daddy paid nearly 150 000 Pounds for the entire training and TR.

I'am only talking about those few kids who paid nothing and end up posting pictures of themselves in a cockpit after their dad gave them 150K GBP. I'm not talking about the cadets who worked hard and had to make huge sacrifices to succeed.

The airlines should evaluate the personal qualities of the pilot, as well as his ability and quality of training, rather than the amount of money he has (even earned by hard working).
Supporting P2F will lead to big problems in aviation industry.

They do! That process starts at the interview stage. You just need to ensure that your quality of training and satisfaction of their other specified requirements gets you that offer of an interview in the first place. They aren't interested in the amount of money you have. It is surprising how many people fail to understand the airlines specified requirements and think they should simply be altered to fit their own set of circumstances. I am afraid that has never been the case, and never likely to be.

Sure there is an interview for EZY, you could pass it with flying colours with fantastic quality of training and whatever other requirements they state, but the requirement is the money, end of, EasyJet specify the amount for the TR and they will expect it or you're out the door.
After spending £100k on a ATPL, how easy is it to pull £30-40k out of the bag, some of it totally upfront?
It is surprising how many people fail to understand that if you don't have money in this industry you face near impossible challenges to get jobs with certain employers. I am afraid that is now the case and is never likely to change....

To be fair I think it's the principle which is being argued about here rather than the precise amount and exchange rate!

I agree we are where we are unfortunately, however even £30k is a cash cow, with a certain Irish low cost carrier I've seen 24k. What makes EZY so expensive? Or is it pure profiteering by school and airline?

I presume the type rating after FTE ends up with a contract with EasyJet, not some sort of "Flexi-Crew" arrangement like a certain Southampton based school has where you're not really a proper employee. It seems there's enough cadets flying EasyJet aeroplanes this way, another scandal after the scandal of £30k (Plus whatever additional sundry expenses are incurred)!
