I wish we could just get the facts.
So far I've heard that the hold pool had 34 people swimming and the Wings pool was empty, then I heard that both pools were empty, then I've heard that CTC were considering closing of the AQC to externals and only CTC modular trainees could undertake it.
So many rumours, really is quite ridiculous. The fact is it's basically ten grand for a 36hr JOC and some unwritten promise of perhaps the opportunity to part with another ten for a TR with an airline then work 500hrs or whatever just being paid 'expenses' or flight pay only to have to face the real possibility of then ending up back in the hold pool again.
Fact is no one actually knows any bloody facts! All I know is I can't get a job with EZY, Monarch or Thomson because they have an agreement with CTC...this probably also extends to QR, dragon and CX....who knows who else is to follow. The EZY contract doesn't have much value left in it so I would hazard a guess at more ME/Far East stuff.
