In response to Fly-my-pretties remark about CTC not making money from not placing pilots. In fact they charge for interviews, sim checks, and over the odds for an MCC course. Like all the training organization's the bank balance is very rosy making money from students wanting to live the dream!
They will all be doing deals with the airlines to get their pilots in as do Oxford, It is big business and I wouldn't be at all surprised of a few back handers going in the right direction's. Good luck to those in the pool as I am sure you will get jobs, but a lot of money is generated from those not getting through at any stage, just look at the volume of applicants. Sounds like a CTC email to me!
