The "attractive" thing about CTC scheme was that the TR was not to be paid ... upfront at least. The ridiculous "allowance" during TR (£500/month) and Line Training (£1k/month) was almost like paying for it but not quite.
So IF the rumour turns out to be true, what does it entails for non rated pilots in the pool ? They'd have to pay CTC for the rating and then sign up a contract with Brookfield to work as contractors for EZY. I've heard of Brookfield contracts at Ryanair but I don't know the ins and outs. How does it compare to CTC Flexicrew ? Rates, roster...
PS: I hate the road the industry is taking ie contractors & total lack of security / stability but at the moment I am trying to "picture" what the situation would look like...
