WWW - you seem to have a problem with cadets and sponsorships from zero hours.
They are all about QUALITY. Any retard with a rich family can get onto a self-sponsored course. They may not be suited to the job, they may be plain incompetant, yet they will still come out with an fATPL.
So you have a situation where lots of fATPL holders out there, some are good, some are not.
Then you have a bunch of quality talented guys who want to be pilots, but do not have the funds to complete the training integrated and/or are not willing to slave for a decade on subsistence wages building experience.
Then you have quality guys who may be able to secure the money against their parents house or something. But they to are not going to embark on the training because they are afraid of finding themselves unemployed. They are not prepared to take the risk.
The answers to all these problems are cadet scheme, like CTC. They will only allow quality guys on the course and provide them with a fast track to the RHS and a much better way of paying for the training.
The quickest and least risky way into the industry for the cadet and a guaranteed quality pilot for the sponsoring airline. Perfect.
