I heard from another source that they were taking 25 people form CTC, including 12 dutch from Cabair...
Well, like Bluebaron I am not very impressed by the latest Britannia move. I was as well on the Supposed "pool" and I have this strange feeling to be sinking now... As I said, I heard from another source that it is a lot more than 6 people who have been selected.
The dutch guys are in a different scheme as far as I know. They were selected ab-initio to do a Frozen ATPL at Cabair, to then enter the CTC scheme to get 6 months on a JET. They had to pay for all that around £60,000... I am not joking because I know some of them working for easyjet.
With Sept 11th, a lot of them were swiming in the pool of CTC, having completed a 757 rating without a job. CTC was probably pretty keen to get them in a flying job. But with those guys paying £ 60k to CTC it was probably easy for CTC to offer a good deal to whichever airline...
I am just trying to understand why all the good jobs (+salaries) are going to people with no experience. I do think it is all about money...
CTC is not helping the business, it is just helping the people that can afford from £6000 to £60,000. That is my point of view anyway.
Happy landings
