My goodness Bealzebub, that Crown Plaza hotel in Crawley really must be boring to be spending so much time on here. Same could be said for my current night stop location
EZY is not the be all and end all. I know it is EZY to get brain washed but hey. And BA's ties with CTC are purely for money/finance, regardless of what they actually think of them. APL will play, BA get reduced type rating costs simples, its pure business, nothing else. It smacks of it all over their dedicated website.
Any training route is a gamble. But any route that gives a firm contract rather than contracting has to be better than EZY. And an A320 is not the best thing since sliced bread for any pilot. Bean counters like them, hence there numbers. And there are cheaper options to train, not pay for a TR and get a full time contract IN THE UK!
