I agree the salary is low for the first 6 months (£1000 pm expenses) but to get positioned with an airline with a fresh ATPL its still not a bad option. The positioning of cadets may be slower at the moment with people in the hold pool but they are still placing cadets. Just because things have slowed up and you may not like the CTC scheme there is no need to be so negative.
Other FTO's are charging more, have never positioned all of their cadets or even claim to, and you may have to pay for a type rating if you are lucky enough to get selected with an airline. (for example going to ryanair after OAA or a modular route).
I am not advising this is the time to join a integrated course, just stating the facts.
