Skyborne at the moment is at full capacity. They cannot afford to bring in even more trainees. They are really struggling, especially in the MEIR phase of training to get people done without significantly delaying them. Head office is just chasing the money at this point. Overpromising and underdelivering to those who are paying a lot of money to get through the system.

I got accepted into the flight crews programme , starting later this year. Was wondering if theres anyone in the same boat and would love to connect? DM me or reply here and I can DM.

Chasing the money whilst selling the business.....now there's a familiar story!

Hi, I'm looking at taking the interview soon, it would be great if you could DM me

Nobody knows what the hiring market will look like in 2 years, that's the scary part lol. £100k is a massive bet. I'd be looking less at the marketing and more at what guarantees, partnerships and placement numbers actually exist when the music stops.

I suspect that the programme will appeal to two main types of candidate.

The first is those being funded by their parents/family when they have either left school or left university and see it as a quick way to a jet job.

The second type is people who are earning very high salaries whilst working very long hours, City bankers and lawyers, those in six-figure tech roles etc. People from those backgrounds just don't have the time to do part-time modular training.

For everyone else, modular would appear to be the main option. I have heard anecdotal evidence of delays at Skyborne, where's the capacity for an extra 100 or so cadets a year going to come from?
