Other sponsorship deals do not involve a bond,
Not correct.
There are many ways to cover the costs of offering a Sponsorship. Ultimately someone has to make the payments to the FTO. With full Sponsorships pre September 11th. The airlines recouped some of that training cost through reduced salary.
Please don't believe for a minute that 60k covers your costs of training into the RHS. Try double that figure at least.
Also as you are aware, a number of cadets in this scheme won't be offered sponsorship terms at all.
CTC will do everything they can to secure jobs for all cadets. But yeh nobody is naive to the fact jobs are never guaranteed.
It is the risk that is taken by anyone self funding or Sponsored.
Just ask the BA cadets who were placed in the holding pool post September 11th.
Btw - you can only be from one place jonathang.
