CTC delays and loan repayment
I am a ctc cadet (kinda) nearing the completion of the course and I'd like to get some info on what really happens at the end of the programme. I heard recently that cp47 just started their base training, which to me sounds like a 8 month delay on the original schedule (I stand to be corrected). Most of the CPs I know here in NZ are 3 to 4 months behind. Bottom line - my original plan for the loan repayment may need some rethinking and I would like to know the following:
1) How much of a delay is there at the end of the course (i.e. when you are ready for base training)? Do the 3/4 months accumulated in NZ increase? I am interested only in the delay accumulated at CTC, I know airline hiring may mean further delays but those are not predictable
2) By how much can you delay the repayment of the loan? Are such requests usually met? And what conditions do then apply - i.e. how much more do you end up paying?
Thanks all for your time, any info is much appreciated and I am sure many other cadets will find it helpful
