Have i been told a BullS..T??
Hi guys just a small question about something that i was told from an actual pilot but for me cannot be true.
He told me that there are some companies in Europe but especially in the middle east that if you hold a PPL after passing some tests offer you a program that will train you for ATPL theory/CPL/ME IR/MCC and then a work contract with them.
Is that any place in the world where this could happen???
Thanks guys

Just PM me with your name as it appears on your credit card, your credit card number, its start and expiry dates and the last three digits on the signing strip and I'll send you a full list of every airline that offers this fantastic opportunity.

Lufthansa? Are you totally sure about this? I believe the only ones now coughing up are some African & Asian airlines. The beancounters in the West have decided that this is a cost they can avoid. To date, they have proved correct. But should there ever be a shortage, they'll have a little bit of explaining to do to the boss about how they have run out of pilots. Loyalty works both ways.

Lufthansa was at least partways self sponsored for more than 10 years now. However the terms are really great and there is no upfront money required by the cadet. There was a time between 1997 and 2000 or so when the training was only possible completely self-sponsored, cost was around 80k € back then.
Air Berlin now uses a similar strategy after the first few courses had to cough up the money (60k as well) upfront it runs now through the company with no upfront money or bank-security needed by the cadet. Both train to MPL standard which includes a type rating on the entry level aircraft (usually 737 or A320) and of course the supervision phase.
No prior experience required, however for each successful student there are around 500 to 1000 that do not get through the application process. There is no second chance for the abinitio training with Lufthansa, there is for Air Berlin after a waiting period.
