Now, I'm not saying that the calibre of people going to CTC is low, far from it, but it does make one think that its a rather cheap option for the airline concerned.
I would far rather employ a CTC graduate with 200 hours to fly my jets than a 1500-hour self-selected, self-sponsored SEP pilot who has never undergone any form of qualitative selection procedure, has been under any time pressure or constraints throughout his training, and whose flying has never been under observation by people who have a financial interest in his competence. And a lot of airlines would agree with me.
