Poor treatment for cadets
CTC cadets pay all the way - those 6 months they work for eJ they get back effectively £1000 per month of their own money!
Total cost to them is around £100,000 to get CPL/IR frozen ATPL and A319 type rating. They get no job g-tee after 6 months but can go back to working in a hotel/bar/checkout job while they wait for a call for another 6 month deal maybe with another LoCo airline.......
Some of the 22 laid off last year will go back to eJ, others have managed to get Airbus work abroad but it's very tough for all.
