So what exactly is CTCs part in all this? They have an agreement with Easyjet among others to provide trainees. Easyjet take them and offer them very little because commiting would mean transferance of the bond. It sounds like you are saying that CTC are engineering something out of this. What? Do CTC still offer the same training contract to the one they used to offer? Are CTC really trying to become the next Brookfield? Does that mean trainees can also reclaim VAT on the cost of TR and line training like Ryanair pilots apparently can? Ultimately they are paying for it after all either via reduced salary or the cost of the initial training.
