thanks will look into it. £71K when you set yourself up as a limited company and then have no VAT to pay off.

Put in my application today. It looks like an OK scheme but one thing I will be grilling OAA at the first opportunity is why the employee is contracted out to Easyjet through a third party when the license is only usable while flying with Easyjet themselves, at least for the first 1,500 hours.

A lot of people will probably know the ££££ answer to this but it would be interesting to see how OAA react to something like that.

Well firstly to lower EZYs recruitment overheads and wage bill. And secondly search for EASA FCL or Flight crew licensing. You are an apprentice effectively until 1500 hours when you can give the CAA even more money to obtain an ATPL. It's another route to the same goal. You have to undertake an MPL with an OPS1 operator or in lamens terms, an airline.

So, two offers on the table:

1.) Cathay Cadet Scheme
2.) EZY Scheme

Which one would you take?

The EZY scheme. At least you will get to fly! The thought of being only a paperwork and RT bitch above FL100 doesn't fill me with joy. Probably will be stuck in that position for a good few years! Serving tea would be more stimulating by far!

Good luck to everyone that has applied! Has anyone got an e-mail back yet? Read on their website "all applicants will be notified before 6pm on 9th November"?

It's passed 6pm and its the 9th of November. On the OAA website it say's that all applicants would be advised by this time wether or not they were successful in progressing to stage 2. Is it safe to assume anyone who has not heard by now was not successful? has anyone heard from OAA to let them know they made it to stage 2?

Well according to the OAA website/email, it clearly states that you will be notified whether you have been successful or unsuccessful.

Being a applicant for the Aer Lingus cadet scheme, you pay £21,400 for a fATPL, TR and a place in the RHS (subject to crewing requirements, which is the best deal you're going to get in terms of placement with an airline after you've completed training.

For £84k and getting an MPL with much risk being attached to it, I'm not a fan.

nothing yet, surprised OAA haven't made a note on their website if it's a delay or something similar...too many applications and not enough time perhaps?!

I have been sent an email with the outcome of my application for this scheme. Anyone else? The dates for selection centres remain unchanged.
