Prospective pilots can now apply for a place on a new scheme that will see the £100,000 cost of their training covered entirely by the airline.The national flag carrier's Speedbird Pilot Academy programme will lift the previously prohibitive cost barrier of training to become an airline pilot for up to 60 successful candidates a year – 'helping to level the playing field and make a flying career a realistic option for all', says British Airways.Successful recruits will also have accommodation and food costs covered during their 16-month training period. Sean Doyle, British Airways' Chairman and CEO, said: 'The Speedbird Pilot Academy will make the ambition of becoming a British Airways pilot a reality for people who'd previously written the option off because of the cost barrier.'
