CTC owes you nothing. Welcome to the real world. Your friend is no more entitled to a job a anyone else, just because they went to CTC.
People wait moments, people wait years. There's no such thing as luck, as a friend once said; "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity".
I do, empathise slightly, having friends in the same boat, but they're all working their socks off and keeping their heads down, applying to literally everyone they can, or moving into flight instruction. Maybe your friend should consider this?
