Hi, Does Anyone Know How To Get Info On The Atlantic Airlines Sponsorship And How To Apply??????

Always wise to do a search first:

It may be slightly sooner than that - think late spring early summer, if rumours are to be believed...

What is the "right candidate"

The pre-entry requirements for the Cadet Scheme are as follows:

• Preferably cadets should be 18-26 years old, but not essential for the right candidate
• You must hold a current class 1 medical
• You must hold a current JAR FCL Private Pilots Licence
• Preferably cadets should hold a night rating, but not essential for the right candidate
• You must have a full, clean, UK driving licence
• Ideally you must have 150 hours total time of which 100 hours must be P1, but not essential for the right candidate
• You must have the rights to live and work within the UK

I assume that Atlantic Airlines would prefer the ideal candidate to hold the above, but in the cases of those with lower hours, not so many ratings and a tainted driving licence ; what character traits are redeeming enough to make someone the "right candidate"?

[MMEMatty]

My Understanding is:


Must Haves:

JAR-FCL PPL
JAR Class 1 Medical
Driving License (a few points may be overlooked, depending on the strength of the candidate)
Right to Live and Work in UK.


Strongly Recommended:

Night Rating
150 hours total / 100 P1
18-26 y.o.


Character Traits:

Good sense of Humour, especially w.r.t. 3am call outs.
Willingness to work long hours. (see above)
Not put off by the thought of an old fashioned apprenticeship, i.e. painting things, sweeping hangars, cleaning things, (presumably soon) mucking out horseboxes etc.
Safe driver, well used to Motorway driving.

There are plenty of threads about the AA fugly scheme, and they give you a good overview of what life as a fug is about. (some of them linked in this thread) I would recommend that anyone thinking of applying reads and takes in what they say, and has a good think about whether they are suitable. It's not for everyone.
