CTC, the answer in a box?
I had a look at the CTC headquaters the other day and I have to say that I was very impressed with the professional way it was all set up.
On the face of it much better than when I started in this game thirty years ago............... and then I started looking at who was paying for the place and had to re think my ideas.
If you have the money CTC (& Oxford) are the "out of a box" answer to the ATPL question, all that is required of you is to turn up and study hard, but make no mistake you are paying top dollar for the plush accomodation.
But if you have the apptitude and are up to putting the thing together for your self the modular way will save you IRO £20,000 I would guess. Yes it is harder to do but I think that you are likely (if you make it all the way) to be a more rounded person and a more experienced pilot.
