EvelcyclopS a thousand thank you's. Truly you are a hero. You came, you saw, you left AND you posted about it. The vast vast majority do not post about leaving. Many do, its the best decision, but they have no incentive to relate the fact.
You would have made a fine commercial pilot.
CTC like all flying schools at present are merely following airlines in their fight for survival.
Best of luck in your new endeavours,
