"It's not sponsorship, it never has been, you pay for the training yourself with a loan (which you are always responsible for) and then pay it back out of you salary. "
I was told (when I asked CTC to clarify this for me BEFORE i committed) that it IS a sponsored scheme because although you do pay the loan back out of your salary, the airline pays you extra (in one way or another) so that in effect the airline is paying your loan back for you....minus interest and tax (in some cases).
"which you are always responsible for" - unfortuantely this bit is completely correct
But you gotta pay to play in this game ...one way or another
