Successful candidates will be offered a place at an approved flight training school and, on passing the course, a position as a British Airways pilot, helping the airline to ensure it has the right levels of future flying talent for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2023\/06\/british-airways-inaugurates-flights-between-london-and-cincinnati.html\">British Airways inaugurates flights between London and Cincinnati<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With initial training that can cost tens of thousands of pounds, the price of becoming a pilot has made the profession prohibitive for many.
