BA Future Pilot Programme
British Airways have launched their first sponsored pilot scheme in a decade. The BA Future Pilot Programme aims to recruit and train up to 400 new pilots by 2016.
BA will recruit and train new pilots through one of three Flight Training Organisations (FTO) which include CTC Aviation, Oxford Aviation and Flight Training Europe.
Willing applicants will need to apply for the programme through one of these three FTOs. Each FTO will screen candidates before sending them BA HQ to participate in a final selection day.
Successful applicants will be offered a position as a First Officer with BA and will be sent to their chosen FTO for flight training.
Each recruit will need to secure a security bond to cover training costs which will be paid back from their salary once they are flying for BA.

Atlantic Airlines, the UK's largest independent cargo carrier, are recruiting cadets for their pilot sponsorship scheme. This excellent scheme funds current PPL holders through to a frozen ATPL, where the cadet will become a first officer with Atlantic Airlines. The cadet will pay back 50% of training costs from their salary once a fully qualified pilot.
This scheme is highly recommended as Atlantic Airlines are one of the few airlines sponsoring such a scheme today. As well as flying training, the scheme exposes the cadet to all aspects of the airline from operations to sweeping the hanger floor.
