Dont forget CTC also offer places on their ICP course to unsuccesful wings candidates. So I dont think it as hard to get accepted on a course as they make out.
I failed selection for the wings course in early 2008 - but was then offered an ICP place (which, in retrospect, I luckily turned down). Though I get the feeling most unsuccesful Wings candidates are offered ICP places ?
The ICP option is (in their words) self funded and you dont do a type rating at end of it. CTC also dont help with finding you a job after the course, no matter how well you do in the exams.
