As Disraeli once (allegedly) said "There are lies, damned lies and statistics".

As has been said many times, by many different people on these boards, you will not get a true representation from ANY fto. To do this would just be ludicrous from a business point of view. They are not there to provide a service, to grant wishes or fulfill dreams. They are purely there to make money, and if they can do that by "stretching the truth" then they will. After all, it is their jobs on the line at the end of the day...

I'm sure CTC did have a 100% placement rate. But how long were people waiting before they got placed, and who were they placed with? I know someone who has, like many others, gone down the Ryanair route. He will be classed as a "placement" by his FTO, despite completing the course jusst over a year ago.

Look beyond the statistics. Think for yourselves. Have your eyes wide, wide open.
