There are places in Europe where you can do an integrated course for a lower price. Also, I think the latter part of your training is in Galway IRL, and the MCC is in Dublin with Parc (who seem to have a bad rep. according to some of the posts on PPRuNe). The Cityjet scheme was a sort of trial run by the airline who selected a bunch of Irish guys to undertake the course (at their own expense). I suppose that if you were given a good recommendation by the staff at 43 you would have a good chance at getting a job with Cityjet, but the same can be said for other FTOs. I do think that 43 would provide excellent quality training, but there are better overall alternatives at the moment. The course there is quite new and it may take a few years for the airlines to really take notice.
