West Atlantic Cadet Scheme 2013
 

For all those with just a PPL and looking for a beacon of light.

Here you go:

United Kingdom | West Atlantic

I've requested an Application Form. It's worth a shot - worse case scenario is they say 'No'.

I've got just over 150 hours and I started my ATPL Ground School in March with ProPilot, so I hope they don't instantly reject my application because of that.

I don't have a clean driving licence so I assume that will disqualify me...:E

Anyway, worth a shot I guess!

Scott C,

not to make You worry, but I was rejected last time, when I was at the stage You are now, with best wishes for my ATPL training...

But was that because you had already started your ATPL theory?

I applied when I already had my ATPL exams and managed to get down to the last 4 candidates and went for the final interview down at Coventry so it's worth a shot!

It states that those with CPL's are not allowed to apply. I have done my skill test and passed but have not sent the paper work in, would this count against me?

I would say nobody knows that you passed the test if you don't send in the paperwork...

Would the CAA not find it a bit strange if they one day receive another skills test form from a separate examiner passing the same test?

Anyone heard anything yet?

Nothing yet, still holding my breath...Guess they have an absolute mountain of applications to get through though.

Just over 150 applied.

Received an invite in the past couple of days

What's the source on that figure? Sounds like quite a low number but I guess the window for applications was quite short and publicity was low.

That's from the West Atlantic Cadet Scheme Facebook page.


'With over 150 Applications for the August 2013 Recruitment Drive, the panel have been very impressed with the high standard and they are currently making final decisions for the next stage 'Assessment Day' Good Luck'

Mikeoscar94,

Could you help wtih link to their facebook? Thanks!

Has anyone received an invite to the next stage yet?

Not yet, although I did send my application on the later side of the application period.

Mike

I received an invite on the 7th for the assessment day :). My application went in on the closing day on the 6th so presumably they're working back through them? Anybody else going?
