quantized, the last OAA/TCA intake started training in Sept last year so in that respect the programm is still on-going. However, it remains to be seen whether they run the selection again this summer. The OAA website will tell you if so...

Atlantic Airlines offer a part sponsored scheme, all the details are on the link:

as far as being from the US, as long as you have the right to live and work in the UK (not sure about what hoops you have to jump through for that) and can get your americal PPL converted to JAR-PPL (shouldnt be a problem, just a few flights and a flight test, costs which would be paid by the airline if you were successful).
Other cadet schemes are available

First thing first everyone, the original poster is from the US, I believe on the Atlantic cadet scheme the candiates now have to pay half the training costs (I may be wrong on this), but in the US you can probably get your FAA CPL/MEIR and possible the CFI as well for about 40,000 dollars,so the part sponsored scheme isn't really going to be that attractive to a US citizen ignoring the issue of working rights for non-EU citizens.
Furthermore the mentored schemes at Oxford are completely irrelevant to someone from the US. As said before the relative cheapness of flying training in the US means that in the US sponorships have been non-existent for years. I know for a US citizen he/she may look at the price of training and think it is a lot of money but they can achieve the FAA licences for the same price in dollars that we pay in sterling. This doesn't mean it is easier for them as in the US nearly everyone has to go down the instructional route to build hours or some other GA job. Traditionally regionals in the US wouldn't look at anyone with less than 2000 hours; though in recent years this has dropped to the 1000/800 hour mark. In other words for our poster self funding really is the only realistic route.

the CX cadet is free but you have to be up to standard at all times during the training and you have to sign a fix contract with cx since they put in a lot of money to train you. it can vary between 5-7 years depending on the company.
