Urrm no it's not. Check facts. CTC provide Type rating, HOTAC, etc etc. So for £80 k inc interest over 7 years for a newbe then it's a damn sight cheaper than the other schools that dont SPONSOR you (as CTC does) and with those you may still have to stump up the cash to pay for a TR. Of course other routes are cheaper, but dont offer anything in concrete. CTC only get paid the cash when a pilot is placed in employment not before. CTC is the only form of sponsorship that I know about...
