Rogi,
I have no issue with CTC cadets. Some are no doubt much better and some much worse than me as an operator. In my opinion schemes such as those at CTC, Ryanair, Bond aviation, EZY etc... do more to de-value this industry than people like myself entering on scale C as I understand that the starting salary is just above 30k for the cadets.
I am pleased that MON has chosen to have a mix of age, experience and background with its recruitment as some airlines place so much emphasis on these organisations that you sometimes wonder if you are a second class citizen by not choosing to pay for the course.
We have former CTC cadets in our airline who are in the LHS.
