iFlyPilot,
Without meaning to sound rude but why didnt you ask about the hold pool then as thats one of the most critical things to you starting training, isn't it?
I'm in the pool at the moment, currently doggy paddling in circles with HSBC hunting me down! Things are seriously bad right now, to state the obvious, so I would really consider undertaking any pilot training at the moment, at least until there is a significant improvement in the industry, both jobs and Ts & Cs.
I expect you were sold the "now is the best time to start training" which I could go along with as what Im hearing is that 2011 is the year that recruitment will really pick up. However, noone knows this and more importantly, with CTC (to their credit) they operate a strict hold pool so you will still have to wait your turn in the pool. Things to consider my friend.......
