You all wanted to bypass the system and were willing to pay to do it.
System?
Presumably you're one of these types who thinks everyone has to log 20,000hrs in a knackered banner-towing taildragger before being allowed to consider themselves worthy of being a 'real pilot'.
The CTC Cadet scheme used to be a proven, respected route into the airlines for people who were the right stuff, before it all went to pot and became just another integrated course as it is today. It used to offer three big advantages over the traditional 0-fATPL - a 100% job placement record, a portfolio of partner airlines queueing to take cadets on, and unsecured finance to go and do it. None of these remain, but how were those unfortunate enough to be the victim of this latest screwing to know it would turn out like this?
How many times does it have to be repeated - most of the people finding themselves in this position now do so having signed up for the thing in the first place in good faith, in the middle of a massive hiring boom when the probability of the risk paying off was high. Regardless of the rights/wrongs of accepting the derisory contract on offer, your anger is misplaced.
By all means attack those who are
still signing up for courses like CTC in the never-ending procession to join the back of the queue, or those who started the precedent by coming out of expensive schools and then finding €33k or whatever it is for a Ryanair/Brookfield job when credit was cheap (the system which, by and large, and apart from the few smaller cases mentioned earlier on, set the precedent for what we are seeing now.) But berating those who are right in the thick of this problem, through little or no fault of their own, is unfair.
