Pilot recruitment drive gets underway with new Future Pilot Programme
British Airways has launched its biggest pilot recruitment drive in more than 10 years. The airline plans to take on more than 800 pilots by 2016, using three combined recruitment programmes.
Prospective pilots will be able to join BA through a new programme to help people to train to become airline pilots called the ‘Future Pilot Programme’.
There will also be recruitment of qualified pilots from other airlines and a joint initiative with the UK Armed Forces to provide military pilots with a planned career path into commercial aviation.
The British Airways Future Pilot Programme will help around 400 applicants gain a place at an approved flight training school, with successful candidates landing a job as a British Airways pilot. This programme will also help students to secure funding to train as a pilot that they can pay back later.
Head of pilot recruitment Captain Robin Glover said: “The Future Pilot Programme is a fantastic opportunity for anyone from any background to realise their ambition of flying for BA. By removing the barrier of initial training costs and making it more accessible to a wider range of people, we hope to be able to attract the very best talent.”
Successful trainees will attend one of three world-class flight training colleges in the UK and Spain.
