Atreyu, if the scheme doesn't appeal to you that's fine, but it's a valid, proven way of gaining good experience, not only of flying but of the industry in general. To say that "the only way into to RHS is through the established FTO's" is, to say the least, somewhat shortsighted.
To those applying, good luck!

Atlantic Airlines have recently seen two Fugs (Cadets) leave, mainly in my view as they didn't quite fit the profile of this specialist job...

Hi guys,
I need a little help to fill my forms.
Don't worry I'm not asking the answer to the question. But I don't understand what is the purpose of the question "It is important that students show complete dedication to the company at all times.
Please give an example of a situation where you have achieved a successful outcome through your own dedication."?
What is the exact sense of "dedication" here?
(I must precise that I'm french XD)

Too low, P1 hours are hours where you are in charge of the aircraft by your big bad self.
I believe what they want on the form is post-PPL issue stuff. Although when I completed the form I put pre-PPL solo hours as well, writing "1.5" in that column probably wouldn't have looked too impressive

Well as someone who was part of the Atlantique Fug scheme for two weeks my opinion may be of interest to anyone applying to these schemes...
I think the clue lies within the 'two weeks' part. It is NOT suited to many people. Pm me if you need more info.

But this isn't the Atlantique Fug scheme Atreyu. You're implying that the Highland and Atlantique scheme are the same when they're not, so I don't see how your opinion will be of interest in this thread. Despite being based on similar formulas, the two schemes are run quite differently. I'm in no way bad mouthing the Atlantic or RVL scheme, just implying that the Highland scheme is different. Highland people comment about their scheme and RVL and Atlantic people comment about theirs, simple. Sure these schemes aren't for everybody, they're hard work but there's enough info out there so that you should know what you're signing up for.
Potential Macfugs, who's got interviews next week? Go and find out what it's like from the horse's mouth!

so I don't see how your opinion will be of interest in this thread
If necessary we could have a separate thread for each scheme though. Personally I wouldn't want to be be tarred with the RVL / Atlantic recon brush if I were working for Highland airways.
I know the RVL scheme isn't all it's cracked up to be.

All wannabes who are interested in this scheme,
Please don't think this some sour grapes, I probably didn't word my posts very well but for the record; if this scheme is for you, great! I had a bad experience personally with an affiliated company so regardless of what ZuluWhiskey has to say, my opinion may be of interest to you. Undeniably, my opinion will seem negative, and it's hard to look at something objectively when it seems too good to be true! But it's better to be armed with information from sources that are for AND against, it'll help people make a more informed decision.
If it's for you then good luck and ignore whatever I have to say, If you're unsure and need more info PM me.
Regards
Atreyu

Anything heard?
Hey - just wondering if anyone has heard anything yet? Their website hasn't been updated and still says interviews anticipated to have started on the 7th of April - I really want a YES/NO interview answer and soon!

Hey Dan,
I'm the same as you - just had a letter acknowledging they'd got my application - I've a sneaking suspicion that if they'll send a letter to acknowledge reciept they'll send another with a yes/no answer for interview

Sorry to come back with my silly questions:
But I still have a problem to understand, what are the P1 flight hours!
And also what is the difference between P1 and solo flight hours?
I found that http://www.pprune.org/forums/archive.../t-188112.html
but it's not very clear...
Can someone help me?
