In the FAQ

When does the training with CTC start?
Your CTC training is likely to start in September/October 2012, but details of the course dates will be provided to successful candidates.


So you can imagine a lead in to that based on assessment, interviews, medicals, arranging finance etc.

Is a driving license needed? It's not on the entry requirements however it does ask about it on the application form.

You will have to investigate whether you can drive in the UK on a Dutch licence, google dvla who will be able to tell you. The reason that you will need the drivers licence is that their cadets are required to do all sorts of other jobs during their training in return for free training, one of those other jobs might be driving crews to the airport or driving spares to a grounded aircraft. Good luck with sorting out the licence and if you choose to apply for the course then good luck with that too.

Ahhh that's a real shame...I don't hold a PPL at the moment and my driving licence isn't clean. I have 6 points. I think I now know why my CTC Wings/Flybe application was rejected

Or perhaps your application was not what they were looking for.

When I read on this that people have not applied for these mentored schemes/cadetships due to a lack of funding. From what I have read, is it not a case of these airlines guaranteeing loans with the banks on behalf of the students which would be paid back over a number of years. Is my understanding of it wrong?

Oh, Aer Lingus did it with the cadets this year(so i believe) its a shame others haven't come onboard and helping students, it would have given students some sort of confidence on gaining employement after deciding to take on such a course. Its so tough for people to commit with such high training cost with nothing guaranteed at the end of it, but yet again, i suppose airlines aren't going to put a financial risk upon themselves in the event of a student failing.. Oh its a tough one, take a gamble by taking on massive loans and run the risks of no employement or taking the plunge and all working out well and being in the left seat in an A380 in a few years

I thought skyways said the BA FPP wasn't due to run until 2014? The application window opens within the next few weeks?

That's because a large proportion of people on this website don't have a bloomin' clue what they're talking about as they drink their half empty glass of water

On the flip side though - I wouldn't be where I am today without it. Amongst the doom and gloom (which is occasionally justified) it can be a powerful information resource.

What is the latest on this guys.... my summary of this thread so far

BA - Second phase in progress / they do guarantee loans (and a job at the end)
Another three years left for subsequent phases (it was a five year plan).

West Atlantic sponsoring (but need 150 hours/aged 20 etc).

TCX - No news

Cathay - Do sponsor ex pats.

Monarch - No news

I heard that Quatar sponsored cadets....not mentioned here.

Does anyone have any new info / updates on any of this.

Thanks in advance.
