Just clearing up a couple of misconceptions

Cpt SC, I hate to be the devil's advocate here but my understanding is the reason that CTC cadets only get paid £1000 for the first six months is that the remainder of their salary is used by the airline to pay CTC for the cadets' type rating. So you are in effect funding your own type rating (but at a much reduced rate so in a lot of ways it is still a good thing).

And I believe that there is a clause in the contract which prevents cadets declaring themselves bankrupt to avoid their loans.
