Apologies, was not my intention. Intention was just to counter act the insinuation that we some how we had this coming or that we are lesser pilots because we went through a scheme design to take us straight in to a jet type ratings. This doesn’t just include the CTC stream but also the other major flying schools. I m not sure blaming cadets coming out of training and saying that nothing will change until people aren’t prepared to take financial risk to get into the industry is flawed.

I believe the industry requires a mixed in take from all backgrounds and the decline in terms will eventually dry up the standard and quantity from all streams. Ideally the airlines would start their own schemes back up to compliment experienced pilots joining and this would mean no further need for schemes such as CTC. Currently this isn't a route into the industry though.

My intention wasn’t take the focus of the discussion on to me, but to refocus on what is a bigger issue for the industry. Far bigger than whether a few cadets deserve to be treated this way as they didn’t build their hours over years while working another job, which appears to be clouding the conversation. I initially only intended to provide the point of view from someone working under the new terms and conditions in order to aid the thread.
