Sponsorship, Cadet etc
Hi
Doees anyone know if UK airlines offer any sponsorships, cadet training etc? I have read Quantis link offer cadet training to anyone with a straight forward CPL but that is an australian airline, or are they all self sponsorship schemes and then they slowly pay you back after you are trained and working for them?

Give the search engine a try and settle in for a long read. It's probably one of the top ten questions asked here. I'll even bet it's covered in the sticky thread the moderators have asked everyone to read before posting.
Also, didn't you notice the thread called Etihad Cadet Pilot Programme?
Good search terms for starting:
Sponsorship
Highland Airways
CTC Wings
Cityjet
NetJets Europe Cadet Programme

Any UK airline that is providing sponsorship usually does it through an integrated FTO - Thomas Cook, Cityjet, Flybe, NetJets etc etc.
Keep checking the CTC, OAA, FTE, Cabair websites and see what's going on.

I think there should be a new rule on pprune that no one is allowed to use the word "sponsored" anymore. AFAIK there have not been any sponsored schemes since 9/11. Well ignoring the likes of Cathay, Singapore and possibly Qantas etc which aren't relevant really to the UK market.
To me a sponsored scheme is one where you the cadet pay nothing towards your training. You are invited for interviews and tests and then given an employment contract subject of course to passing your flying programme. At the end of the training the airline type rates you and you enter into base & line training and then (hopefully) have a long and distinguished career. During the course of your training you would have been on a cadet salary, in uniform, invited to your employers offices for visits, enjoyed supernumerary rides on the jumpseat to familiarise yourself with airline operations and no doubt enjoyed the other perks of being employed.
The "schemes" on offer at the moment require you to pay in some shape or form. You either cut a cheque to an FTO or airline or you forego pay. There is always a catch no matter what it says on the tin.

preduk,
I think you'll fnd your contracted to Highland for a minimum of 5 years. What the financial commitment will be, im not sure. I doubt very much however that you would be able to walk away at any stage without having to pay something back

From the website:
"Once they move into the Second Phase of their sponsorship, they become an employee at which point their salary will increase to 90% of the level of the relevant position to which they are appointed."
Contracted to a minimum of 5 years employment, means a total of one half-year salary will be paid back to the company.

Tyrolean and more...
Hi lads
I have just received an invitation from lufthansa to pass their BU late September. Its damn too hard though so I ve already started to look for alternatives. First of all I would like to ask where can I find the tyrolean pilot sponsorship link (information, application etc).
I am also trying to find which other airlines are currently running pilot sponsorships, so that would be great if u could give me any tips
cheers

from my personnal research :
Air France
GAPAN
Lufthansa but you already tried,
Atlantinc, Highland, etc...
Malta, Liban, Eithad, etc...
not much and lots of conditions required to apply but worth a try
I've given up, now I have 150 hours so I'll go for the modular route at least I'm sure I'll be flying one day, even if it is instruction..

FTE's current cost for their integrated course is about £81,200.
For the Flybe partially sponsored course Flybe give the cadet £19,800 of that - so that leaves the cadet to find the remaining £61,400!!
Anyone selected for MAPS has to pay the full £81,200.

Hi
does anyone know whether cityjet guarantees a job upon completion of the training or not? Where can I apply for their program? FTE doesnt seem to have a certain link for cityjet application (like Netjets in OAT for example). Additionally, can someone tell me where can I also apply to Tyrolean. I ve heard that seems to be a sweet alternative for German speakers.
Cheer lads, and Goodluck to all!!
