Going by XWB it sounds less like a cadet scheme and more like a pyramid scheme
But really its the only show in town. If you baulk at the conditions and costs remember that you would face virtually the same costs if you trained yourself. OK, a DE might get more money on commencing work but there is zero guarantee of getting a job at the end of training.
Anyone who has any sort of desire to fly should have applied just to get a bit of experience a taste of what interviews and assessments are like.0 -

Some FOs on the 330 and Captains on the 320 dont earn 60k a year so I would be highly suspicious if that. I would imagine that was more of a hook on the line and that they were stating that "some day" you will earn 60k..maybe..possibly in 10 years.
900 hours a year? That is very high for a Ryanair pilot. I would assume he would have to be a Capt as an FO in Ryanair would rarely get that sort of "hourage". Infact I know the base wage for a Ryanair Capt is 45k.
When you join Ryanair and have your safety pilot you earn 18k structure..when he pisses off you get the 28k structure. However as Brookfield employ you and you are a contractor you can claim to be self employed and claim tax relief on you phones bills, petrol, unifrom costs and infact you claim most of your TR costs back in the 1st 5 years!
It says starting salaries were likely to be 60,000?
to the rest of posts:
and was a pilots salary not known to be a very good one? and here the total opposite is being said..I respect XWBs opinion but I wonder is all the other views on this trying to maybe scare people who have been invited to stage 3 to decline their places due to wage fears so unsuccessful applicants will maybe get another chance. Ill have training and salary questions armed and ready for the next stage because until then i've the salt shaker out reading the majority of these posts

Do you honestly think that pilots get paid e60K starting as a cadet! As long as people expect flights for less than the taxi fare to the airport your having a laugh. Its not near what people think it is as a job.0 -

Look I was offered a 2 year return contract with a base salary of 70k a year to skipper the pond hoppers....if I was doing that job and then found out cadets were earning 60k then I would be demanding a pay rise. To suggest 60k a year is to suggest that the cadet will walk in day one on the 320 and be earning more than the man to his left in Gatwick??...that is just a farcical suggestion! Cadets will make 30k if they are lucky!0 -

You have your answers in your post JIMJOP.
"""and was a pilots salary not known to be a very good one?"""
Yes IT was. Thats if you started flying in the 80s or 90s and you have huge hours and left hand seat.
In these eras the flag carriers where held together by the tax payer. Aviation is a cut throat business across the globe.
Ask XWB his finishing salary.Id say about 180k+ perks p/a.
Why do you think they where all told to bugger off with a wad?0 -

Has anyone emailed or called the number provided on the last email for any sort of info on the programme? I sent them an email a few days ago and haven't received a reply yet.
It looks like they only want you to contact them if A) you have a problem parking or any other difficulties like that and
if you are not going to turn up.
IMO I think they have told us everything they want us to know for the time being in the e-mail. All the big unknown questions are likely to be cleared up in one go at stage 3 or even 4 but i cant see them entertaining all the different questions coming from us potential candidates via e-mail. Could be worth the try.0 -
