BA new Future Pilot Programme

"BA's head of pilot recruitment said the airline will take "a small risk" by guaranteeing the finance to pay to train carefully selected students, enabling those without assets, savings or wealthy parents to raise the £100,000 ($165,000) or so needed to cover the cost of training from selection to line-flying"

There's something here that doesn't add up. I wonder how much a top-line surgeon (maybe from age 40) ends up paying for his training.

Median debt at graduation is about 160k USD, so pretty much the same. But guess it takes a lot longer before you start earning money after med school.

Wrong forum, but... from the website.

Obviously this represents a significant investment by APL and you will therefore be required to deposit a security bond of £84,000 with them. Because this is a sponsored scheme, this entire £84,000 security bond will be repaid to you, tax-free, if you successfully complete all training, and join British Airways as a first officer. The security bond is repaid in equal monthly instalments over your first seven years of employment, all in addition to your remuneration package.
