Yes people who joined as cadets get an additional £12k a year to pay off some of that training debt for 7 years I think. But if they are forced to leave BA, as some sadly will be as a result of covid, BA are not paying off the outstanding amount, so they leave with a pile of debt around their necks and no jobs. So its a dreadful situation to be in and a very high-stakes high-risk career to try and enter.
