This is so sad to read.
Back in early 2006 I went through the CTC ATP scheme.
I was put up in a decent hotel in Southampton for 6 weeks during type rating. (Loads of award/loyalty points collected - I've been living off them ever since
)
During line training I was put up in a 5* hotel for 4 months and received £1500 per month for the first 6 months and then a £2000 well done payment for signing a full airline contract after the 6 month with EZY.
No bond, no repayments and no reduced salary. Just a full T&C's EZY contract.
CTC gave me a great leg up, having been a FI prior to the course.
What on earth has happened in 3 and a half years!
