Question
hi! sorry to bother you again but you mentioned that abroad there are some airlines that train their pilots from the zero experience via "cadet programs".
do you know which airlines from which country would provide such service ?
Jessica,
If you are an American, you won't qualify for a cadet program abroad. Airlines in these countries hire only their nationals into such positions and the competition is very selective even if you are a citizen. Airlines that have such programs are companies like British Airways, Lufthansa, China Airlines and a few others in Asia & Europe. However, if you want to do further research on cadet programs, try doing so on the message forums at this predominantly British site:
www.pprune.org
Search for the word "cadet" and you should get many listings on these programs and see who else offers them. You can also go to each airlines webpage and under employment look for their info on cadet programs.
