Cityjet Jet Pilot Programme

[flyasthesky]

Hi everyone, mods feel free to move this to any cityjet thread if desired I just thought it might be nice to have one thread dedicated to this particular subject. I would like to hear peoples opinions on this course run by Sigmar aviation. It has being run for a while now and has it being proven that its a good course and that the graduates are getting jobs with Cityjet?. 96,000k with maybe possibly a job at the end of it (maybe I said, no guarantees with anything in life). I read on ppjn.com that Cityjet have a new arrangement with a flight school in France, could this effect the jet pilot programme.
Thanks for you time.

they've just started a scheme at flighttrainingeurope - jerez but it was open for applications for about a week or 2. Cadets are supposed to start in feb or april

They were running this particular course here in Sa at 43. Is this still happening? Why oh why would you want to pay 96 000 euros when you can do it at a far cheaper rate.

It seems like a lot of money to get a job in Cityjet flying the 146. Do it more cheaply somewhere else and then apply to Cityjet. I think you would have exactly the same chance. Better yet, take the money you saved and use for Ryanair.

Can't comment on the scheme, just wanted to point out that all new F/O's are flying the RJ85 which has a fair few luxuries over the the 146, and without trying to start a debate it would be a very poor judgement call to pick a company that charges you for your typerating and abuses its pilots to such a degree over CityJet.

I had job offers from both, no prizes for guessing who I fly for...

I've been looking at this course as well and have contacted Sigmar to find out a bit more.
There was an article on Ireland AM a few weeks back about the programme and it said that of the 15 students on the course 8 had been selected to fly with Cityjet already
