The training CTC give is actually pretty good, You can't classify an FTO by the opinions of one person who may have formulated his own opinions based on one individual. My advice would be to trawl through the masses of pages that are already on here about CTC and formulate your own idea. Its you parting with your money and embarking on that long steep road, and only you can decide. As some of the better informed people on here have already stated, there is no such thing as a free lunch, but as schemes go its a pretty sweet deal.
Ok after your 6 month line training period you are not Guaranteed a Job, however CTC's literature states time and time again, its not like its a big suprise, if one thing can be said about aviation, its that nothing is certain. That said practically every cadet who has completed the wings course has gained a job in the RHS so far. As I am sure you are aware aviation is a fluctuating business, not without its risks, you could spend that amount of cash at other FTO's and they would not guarantee you anything either, so what have you got to lose?

good luck anyway.
