Highland
 

Hey,

I went through the first Highland cadet recruitment, and got down to the final 8 I beleive. Seems a really good setup. And everyone is really friendly up there. The company has grown a lot over the past few years, but it sill has the "small + friendly" vibe going on. I'd encourage you all do apply!

I also got a phonecall a few weeks back, offering me an interview for an ops. role. Which, I'd love to have taken, but with saving every penny I've got to fund my own fATPL, I had to say no. As for the bond, I think it's a small price to pay for what you get! :-)

The closing date is this Monday (the 21st Aug).

How is everybody getting on with thier applications?

Hope all is going well for you folks out there

Hey guys,
It's been 2 weeks since the deadline, so just wondering if anyone out there has heard back from Highland yet regarding interviews for this scheme?

Congratulations to all those who are going for the initial interview on the 25th - good luck guys and gals!

Quick question to anyone who has been through a scheme like this before, or similar circumstances;

Understanding they provide the accommodation whilst in the training, but afterwards, i'm guessing the cadet would have to find and pay for accommodation whilst paying off the bond, yes?

If that's correct, what would be the average monthly income the cadet would be on, and would it be simple enough to find a nice cheap place to rent for however long? :)

Cheers,
RR.

RR,

Your poor mind has obviously been hideously polluted by these ridiculous 'Cabair' and 'Oxford' schemes.

YOU DON'T PAY Highland a penny.

You owe them nothing but blood, sweat and tears.

Once you are 'on-line' you will earn 90% salary compared to a normal on-line pilot. That’s it! Last time I checked there are plenty of people managing to live on a lot less than 90% of what a FO at Highland earns.

You sound confused RR, i hope it is a bit clearer now. I can't stand to see this mixed up with cabair or oxford :yuk: :yuk: :yuk:

Cheers TH...

I did pick up on that fact :} however decided to phrase my post slightly incorrectly..!

RR..

Well good luck to those that get through - just don't do what I did and rip the backside of my suit open!

You'll find the group stages fairly easy it's just to get a feel for how you react to new environments and new people - you'll also get a tour of the facilities and McQuaig tests are simple enough. I applied for the last scheme that ran and made it down to the final stage but obviously wasn't the sort of person they're looking for. If you want to know more pm me specifics and I'll try and dredge them out of the memory.

Just because you don't get this one doesn't mean you should be completely disheartened. Since my interview I have ended up working with a respectable aviation magazine and getting to do some interesting things and play with fun stuff. But it hasn't put me off I am doing the ATPL distance learning but would drop everything if I was offered a place on such a scheme.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I wonder if the new ageism laws will raise the application age above 25 ??
Oops, sorry, but I guess above that age then people like me are deemed to old and need a zimmer frame to get to the aircraft, a monocle to see the instruments and wheelchair assistance home after a 4 sector day !!

Now if you chaps are coming up to Atlantic Flight Training at Coventry for interviews and tours, please be quiet! There will distance-learning peeps on theory brush-up and full-timers like myself revising for ATPL exams that week. Anyhoo, best of luck!

So, who's got through to the second stage? :}

I take it that means you have...????...

Yes :) :ok:
