Ok so all might be fine in the future for CTC cadets starting training now. However all cadets whether CTC or not have to remember that there are many pilots sitting in airline hold pools with hours, they will be first on an airline list before fresh faced cadets.
Does part of the CTC cadet qualification allow cadets to keep up their flying hours whilst sitting in the hold pool? I myself know of at least 8 pilots sitting in hold pools whilst flying with there current employer.
Finally there will be future positions for cadets when the job market picks up and no doubt CTC will be well placed to push their cadets but you have to remember that payscales may well be very different. Not to mention the fact you have to keep up regular payments, possibly before your first flying job.
The partner airline days as we know it may be numbered. Hopefully the respected company can come up with more fresh ideas.
My 2p worth.
