SALARY & TYPES OPERATED
Does anyone have any ideas what the starting salary would be, aswell as any sector pay / benefits if starting through the sponsorship scheme? Would it be similar to that offered by Easyjet, i.e reduced salary for x years?
Also, what a/c do Buzz operate?

FRIDAY,
How many hours do you have? I was quite a few short when I applied and that was one of the main reasons I wasn't selected.

There will probably be a reduced wage for a while, (not to mention the peanuts paid for instruction ) I guess there would be a bond as well, about £18k?

Regarding money, from the Cabair website:
"Sponsorships involve the candidate contributing upwards from £8,000 to £20,000....."
"An instructor can expect to earn up to £15,000pa, depending on the the level of sponsorship. After working for up to a two year contract period, the Instructor will take the Instrument Rating and Multi-Crew Co-operation Course, and then join the Airline which sponsored them."
This is not specific to the Buzz offer, but at least gives an idea. Time to write a letter I think.

Oooops I am just shy of 100hrs but its for ever climbing, and if I thought I was within a shout I would be perched at the ready to get those hours depending on the time scale. None the less I will give them a shout as I have done very well in past sponsorship schemes and aptitude tests obviously not good enough but I did get offered a ATC position and of course declined due to my need for speed. anyway wou will never know unless you go!!!!!!!!!!1

I have been through this scheme and I can tell you that I was the only one of the people selected that actually had the full hours requirement. The rest ranged from 100TT and up, don't let this stop you from trying for it, Cabair will be quite willing to consider you if you can prove that you have the time and the money for some quick hour building, normally in the states.
As an instructor you will earn anywhere from £11,000 - 15,000 tops, as with the wage at buzz nobody knows as up until now sponsored pilots went to KlmUK onto turboprops and a wage of abourt £21,000 per year, buzz should be more because it will be a jet job, but who would know.

Hmm, so let's imagine a hypothetical person with 50 hours TT who only got their PPL November 2002. That "imaginary" person would probably have to do some pretty good writing/talking to even be in with a chance and borrow enough money to get 80 hours under their belt pretty quick, right?
But there's still got to be a chance!
(If you're borrowing 15-20 grand off a bank in the first place, you might as well make it 20-25!)
Course, this has nothing to do with me.....

Be VERY careful before signing up fo this scheme. Read ALL the details, and work out exactly what they mean to you.
Don't mean to be teaching people to suck eggs, I speak from experience.
email me for further details.

Hmm....working for buzz £34k pa plus uncertain future....Ryanair Euros 85k plus successful/profitable airline.
If Ryanair support this sponsorship (which there is no guarantee they will) I reckon it is a better deal by far.
Still all you wannabes are free to listen to A and C who obviously doesn't like Ryanair and won't be applying.

Have I read the terms of this 'sponsorship' correctly ?
Not only do they require a contribution of £23K but they also want a guarantee or bond to the value of at least £15K to cover their costs if you don't make the grade ?
Is that right ? If so, not sure I have that much cash left in the pot !!
Any views welcome.........Cheers TJ
