This is definitly not the way to go... you could end up rated on a machine not used outside (but you still have to pay for the TR) and they don't provide permanent contract - only seasonal... with a pay barely above the minimum salary for french bases and nothing in winter due to the low number of flights... If you still want to tie the rope around your neck then feel free, don't complain about it in the future.

If they get enough kids whose parents are very wealthy, then I think you have your answer

I have an interview in June with Volotea at CAE Oxford and I'm incredibly apprehensive, and will really need to seriously consider accepting should they offer me a position. I hope they ask me in the interview why it is I want to fly for Volotea so I can spin the question and ask them 'Why SHOULD I work for Volotea'? Spending plus €100k on training to fly for an airline which pays the bare minimum isn't an enticement for me. I'm more interested in completing the training as it also includes an a320 type rating...

I am aware the VTIP001 cadets are very happy overall with the scheme and are approaching the Phoenix phase. The airline itself is expanding and very promising. A lot of people need to open their eyes to the opportunity of joining a growing airline, rather than just the negativity!
This should enlighten you about what to expect after this scheme

747pro I assume you don't know what you are talking about, it has clearly been said that the airline will offer - or not - permanent contract regarding their needs.
Moreover, the previous cadets were offered seasonal contract.
Now if you don't see the bait, that's not my problem.
There's a ton of better opportunities for a cheaper price out there.

Programme does sound great, but upon receiving this from CAE:
Starting salary circa €20,000 on a seasonal contract... it is not surprising nobody has yet booked themselves into a stage 3 interview...
I just want to say I have no issue with the airline and this opportunity seemed incredibly promising before I read the T&C’s!
