My halfpenny's worth.
First, FTE are an excellent outfit and if I was starting my training now they would probably be my first choice.
But, before you go and shower them with gold, bear this in mind. The 2008 JN Somers ATPL scholarship winner graduated her course with FTE a year ago and still hasn't found employment. This is an individual who beat hundreds of other applicants to be awarded the UK's only fully funded ATPL scholarship. It is an extremely prestigious award and historically those who win it are pretty much guaranteed employment with the airline of their choice. So, I ask you, if she can't find a job, what chances do other, lesser mortals have in the current and ongoing climate?
