The CTC Wings Course is by far the better course to be on.

In theory you are not really paying for your training. When I start with my airline I will be paid a salary of £21k with sector pay on top, so in all about £26k in my first year. The £60000 bond is repaid by my airline in addition to my salary.

With CTC you will train in a very impressive crew training centre, and you end up with 285 hours at the end of the course (I believe). In addition I will get a type rating and line training all provided, which you don't with Oxford.

You won't have to worry about paying for retests etc. Your accommodation is all paid for (which is very good accommodation with ensuite bathrooms etc), you get cars to drive and all your training equipment provided.

Even if you are not a pre-sponsored cadet, you are almost guaranteed a job at the end of the course.

If you can get on the CTC course, I highly recommend it!
