Hi everyone.
I started CTC Oct 06 and was put on CP41, now I’m permanent with Thomas Cook. Personally I cannot complain about CTC they did exactly what it says on the tin. However I can appreciate why people do and I appreciate that I have been incredibly lucky to get a permanent contract.
I know it’s easy for me to say but if I hadn't started my training yet I would probably want to wait for a few years. Even if you start training now and the industry has recovered by the time you finish you will still be waiting behind a massive holding pool. Quite a few people from CP41 still haven't got permanent contracts and there is nothing on the horizon. However, I know someone who is cabin crew for our airline and is currently undergoing modular training but because they have been with the company for a long time and have got to know a lot of the captains and management they are in a great position should anything arise.
Apologies if I’m preaching something that has already been said.
