...For a dead TR.
In some ways I'd like the cost of integrated to reach peak unaffordability as quickly as possible since then the airlines would have to fund it in order for high-calibre candidates to be interested.

It will be interesting to see the level of interest in this...

It does make some sense to charge cadets for a 320 TR, however it's a shame that Volotea make cadets pay for a dead 717 type rating. What would happen if Volotea went bankrupt? Well you'd have 25K Euros spent for nothing.

What I find a bit cheeky about this is that they say that after two years they will pay for the airbus type rating whereas the reality is when you compare the costs to other programs of the type, you are paying for it anyway pretty much.

Easyjet, BA Ciyflyer, Flybe, Wizzair have all had cadet schemes recently for significantly less money than this.
Volotea might be a nice enough place to start your career, especially if you want to live in southern Europe, but it's not the kind of airline kids grow up dreaming of working for.
The salary advertised on PPJN is lower than most European airlines and certainly isn't going to help pay back any huge loans.
If you start on the B717 you'll be reliant on getting an internal transfer to the Airbus or probably paying for another type rating if you ever want to move on.
I'm really struggling to see any reason for people to apply yet I'm sure there'll be loads.......
