I did the ctc cadet scheme, I've been working for easyjet for the past four years. The ctc scheme is no longer what it was, it has become far more expensive and the job on offer at the end of the course is now a temp contract that earns barely enough to pay back the huge debt you will have racked up (we are talking well in excess of 100k euro).

Honestly get a PPL, enjoy yourself and go no further. Wait and see what sort of an industry emerges over the next 2-3 years.

Do not whatever you do borrow any money to pay for flying training at the moment. And have a read of the Terms and Endearments forum (third from the top on the main forum page). It deals with employment prospects and job opportunities for pilots who already have a licence and some experience but it should open your eyes to the reality of the situation at the moment. It's not great.

Good luck
