I think it is absolutely utterly disgraceful that companies like this can take your time, money and hopes for the long distance rollercoaster ride that they appear to have done. The high cost, and presumably high standard of Airline Qualification on the course ought to be rewarded with a guaranteed job, or your money back and compensation to boot. Compensating you for their negligence in taking you on a course when their expertise ought to give them the knowledge that it is unlikely they will find you a job in the short, or even longer term. Compensating you for the loss of money, time and for the anguish involved.
It's high time that far too many people, companies and crooks stopped exploiting the situation of desperate low hours pilots who have already spent far too much of their own money and nerves getting qualified, and it is also time that companies like CTC and others started TELLING THE TRUTH. If they did, of course, far fewer of our brethren would be lining up for what appears to be the outside chance of a job in the distant and undetermined future, and what actually appears to be purely a business opportunity for those supplying these so called qualification packages.
I am sick and tired of the exploitation in this industry, and it's time it was stamped out. Companies like CTC advising you in what is a big financial decision, and charging you money ought to be regulated like the insurance, financial services, and legal professions to name but a few. If they had sold you a with profits endowment on this never never basis it would be an offence, and there would be financial and criminal penalties for such mis selling.
Here endeth the rant.
