Is this the BE sponsorship? I heard from Cabair that they were awaiting instructions from the airline as regards this year's sponsorship opportunity.
Time to keep our ears open as there are sponsorships out there...
It's not all doom and gloom....maybe!

Well Air2000 and British European have in the past used Cabair.
Although the word "new", does that imply another airline has been in talks with Cabair regarding a sponsorship course ?
I believe British European ran last year, it does cost a lot of money etc, and places are few.

Cabair , dont hold your breath. Been there and done that. I know your all desperatley looking for a bit of brightness at the end of the tunnel but its just an accountant with a torch.
Few leave Cabair without a very bad taste in thier mouths.
A few people get UK and JEA sponsohips from time to time, work 2 years for next to nothing (£400 or so a month) are treated like dirt ( no worse) and then move onto the airline. Not so bad I hear you say. Well wait till your here a few weeks and realise that FIs are the lowest form of life.
Most Cabair sponsorship bods spend 2 years in ops being promised this and that, much of which never happens. Then some get thier FI rating, work for little more and have to go to court to gain restitution. £13000 last case.
Go it alone. It will be less painful.

Instructor sponsorship maybe ? Seems unlike Cabair not to announce the name of the sponsor unless it is them / you ? Have they been offering this instructor only type of sponsorship since the arrival of JAR ? Must be expensive . Remember a lot of unhappy Cabair sponsored instructors about 10 years ago - mind you , they all found jobs eventually .

Busterplane said it a bit more bluntly than I would have, however I agree to a large extent.
I spent time talking to a few of the sponsored instructors and most people go in with their eyes open. Bloody hard work with very little pay but you do (did?) get a RHS at the end of it.
I decided against it, even though I did get offered a sponsorship. Take a very careful look at the contract and make sure you are happy with it before you sign there are (were) some big sums involved.
