Sponsorship for non-citizens
Hi everyone,
Do any airlines sponsor cadet programs (like the BA FPP or CTC wings) for non-citizens who would need a visa to work? I'm from Israel, and Israeli airlines rarely accept non-air-force pilots let alone sponsor their studies. Thanks! |
I wasn't accepted when I tried. It's hard to get in because there are far fewer spots than applicants. I assume I didn't get in because I wasn't in shape though there's no way to know. I'm now post-military so can't even try to get in anymore.
|
As far as I'm aware... No. What's wrong with going military if it's the easiest route? |
I was in the IAF, by the way, and that's when I really got hooked on flying. I wasn't a pilot there though - just a mechanic.

To answer your original question, NO. Not a chance in hell.
You can't work for them on completion of training, because you've got no work visa and no way to get one, so even if you were Chuck Yeager Junior it would be completely wasted money for them to spend a single penny on you. |
you've got no work visa and no way to get one Thanks for the replies so far. If anyone does think of an airline that has such a deal, I'd love to know. |
It seems that Cathay Pacific doesn't require any sort of citizenship or visa. I've applied, and had an email correspondence from them saying my residence or nationality shouldn't hurt my chances.
Wish me luck! |
I'm an American and also looking for a cadet training program that sponsors non-citizens. Does anyone know of any other sponsored-cadet programs/ commercial pilot training for non-citizens out there like Cathay Pacific?
Configurator, glad to hear you've applied to Cathay - how is the application process going? Good luck! :ok: |
