If you are going to compare the CTC scheme to the ThomsonFly approved scheme, which I believe is a fair way to look at it!
CTC plus points.
1. As has been said before CTC will have more contacts within the Airline industry which is their main plus point.
However some of the advantages of the ThomsonFly scheme are;
1. Full course is carried out in Jerez with FTE including groundschool (CTC use distance learning on lap-tops via Bristol GS)
2. You won´t have the 7 year bonding to the airline of CTC´s choice (especially good news for those fortunate enough to raise most of the 60,000 STG themselves!)
3. You will be one of a select few rather than one of the hundreds that CTC have to find a placement for.
Really got to ask yourself if an integrated course is for you? Then if you would like to work for ThomsonFly? if the answer is yes then give it a go!
The rather sad news out of all this is that it looks likely that there will now be even fewer sponsorhip opportunites in the near future as Britannia were the last and only airline of recent years to offer a decent sponsorship! RIP
