British Airways to bear training cost of 60 pilots every year

The initiative will allow those who cannot afford the cost of pilot training to fulfil their dream of flying and becoming professional pilots. Those who wished to be a pilot but had to bury that dream because of lack of finance can now refresh that dream and even fulfil it. British Airways’ Speedbird Pilot Academy will sponsor the training of 60 pilots every year. Interested candidates, between the ages of 18 and 55, will not only be able to afford pilot training from an approved school but will also be absorbed into the crew of British Airways.
