Flybe is a good place to be in today's environment, and fair play to them for undertaking ab-initio schemes. It can also be tough work with a high performance and challenging aircraft. Not so fair play for not negotiating any discounts on training for the cadets, but that is another story.
As CW points, it can't be done on a 100% loan, but that's actually very good. Gain some employment first and then you can actually appreciate how hard it is to earn tens of thousand after tax and living is paid!

Am I being silly or is the funding information a little confusing for this CTC Flybe scheme? It says cadets will be bonded for 3 years to pay the TR cost of £13,500. It also says that Flybe's contribution (around £20,000) will be paid back by the cadet by 60 monthly instalments. So basically we pay for TR and their other contribution to the course?

The TR will only be paid if you leave the airline early, i.e. before 3 years.
The basic cost is still £85k and it's interesting that it's back to the fATPL rather than an MPL as has been the recent fashion.
I don't see why they can't structure this deal with an amount paid back tax free to cover the course cost per the BA and EZY scheme of old.

I have has a look at the Flybe/CTC scheme and to me it looks good, ok it is £65k... but that’s a lot better than the £100K it would cost you to be a cadet.
Sadly I won’t be applying this year as I don’t have the money in place yet. This time next year however... Just hope they keep running the scheme into 2013!

I'm quite interested in it, despite the fact I have a PPL and ATPL exams done. I wouldn't mind paying £65k as I'm getting a job out of it in the end. Obviously not guaranteed but there's a good chance. I've probably only spent 13k so far, which is a lot but consider that against a type rating (especially a RYR one) then this scheme seems like a good deal considering the market right now.

Hi,
I'm currently getting my PPL here in Italy (while finishing school) and within the end of the year I think that I'm going to complete it.
My plans are to start my commercial training in the UK.
I've already attended an open day at OAA and I already was thinking about starting an Integrated course. However last week I discovered this Flybe/CTC scheme and destroyed all my certainties!
So my question is: what should I do??? Should I choose the OAA Integrated course or try to enter the Flybe/CTC Scheme?
I grab this opportunity to wish all the best to all pilots for their job hunt!

Look at many schools, not just a couple.
-CTC
-OAA
-BCFT
-Stapleford
-FTE
the list goes on.
The 5 above would be the main 5 on my list, check them out. I would apply for the Flybe thing anyway, nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

FLYBE CTC
I've read the info on the Flybe CTC page, and then I read it again!!! I'm just interested to know how many applicants will apply! Also do you think that when they say, only the best will get through, what they really mean is, if you apply, have half a brain and 65K your in!! I always wondered about that! I have applied so will be interesting. My school grades leave a lot to be desired so I could be doomed.. But I have the money in place so who knows!!! I can't justify an integrated course that isn't mentored when course like this are up for grabs!!

Thanks for your answers! I think if the flybe course will be available next year, I'll go for it!
That will be, if another scheme doesn't come out! I hope that next year the BA FPP will be an option too...terms and condition seem good!

Your grades, aptitude tests etc are just filters.
Does anyone know if they look at your training report from previous schools? I have a PPL.

See this is one thing I don’t understand about the airline industry... why would a UK domestic airline take cadets from the middle east? There are people (aka me) who live and work already in the UK who would jump at the chance to be a Cadet... shame.

For those of you that think the BA FPP is dead for 2012 might want to read this article, nothing definite but they reckon that phase 2 will be later this year:
British Airways Future Pilot Programme begins with ‘second phase later this year’ | Pilot Career News
Too late for me but good luck if it goes ahead.
