A gala dinner was held at the Hotel Sherry Park in Jerez on Friday evening celebrating the graduation of courses 122 and 123. The group of 15 FTEJerez graduates included a number of self-sponsored cadets as well as cadets of British Airways and Middle East Airlines.

FTEJerez was proud to welcome Lindsay Craig, BA’s Pilot Recruitment Manager, as its guest of honour at the occasion. Mr Craig, who some 11 years ago completed his Jet Orientation Course at FTEJerez , delivered the keynote speech at the occasion. He highlighted the longstanding relationship between BA and FTEJerez and entertained the audience with anecdotes and real life experiences from the cockpit. Staff and graduating cadets alike applauded Lindsay’s highly motivational speech as he congratulated all cadets and wished them well in their careers, something he described as ‘the best job in the world’.

The management and staff of FTEJerez would like to congratulate the graduates on having completed this demanding course and would like to wish them well as they commence the next phase of their careers as professional pilots.
