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.

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?

FTE and Norwegian (OSM) have a partnership agreement to supply cadets.

I attended the last graduation, and I believe only one person out of those graduating did not have an airline job at that point. I believe he may have been offered one since then. Whatever the actual statistics are, I would actually guess it's higher than 80% are being placed into jobs. EasyJet, Norwegian, Aer Lingus, Vueling, FlyBe and Thomas Cook actively recruit here (maybe I'm missing some?)...
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.

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.

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.

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....

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)!
