CTC - Is it worth it?!

I have read a number of messages about CTC vs other reputable training establishments. I have been selected to attend stage 2 of the assesment centre (the one you pay for!) and wondered if any of you seasoned CTCers out there could shed some light.

I am currently 29 and am approaching the upper age limit for selection. Having always thought about giving it a crack, I sent in an application but have since learnt I am too old for the Easyjet / Thomas Cook scheme.

By the time I finish I will be 31 (ish!) and dont want to join the pool of fresh trainees looking for a seat in the cockpit. Does anyone know the recruitment prospects for a 31-year old CTC graduate? Is it not easier to apply to someone like Oxford, packing a big loan without the hassle of paying for assesment centres and fighting against some zealous school leavers?
