40 permanent contracts with easyJet this year to CTC cadets suggests that your 'facts' are incomplete. There being considerably (150) less in the holding pool than you are categorically rock solid sure of suggests the same.
Alright - we all want a permanent contract straight out of training. I didn't get that even as an engineering graduate, not at first. Contract work is becoming the norm. Times have changed and in the current climate this deal is as good as it gets for newly-qualified pilots right now.
So where do we go from here? It's a good thing indeed to point these facts out to prospective applicants. It is also not wrong to say that, when you look at the state of the industry, CTC is doing very well. People are in bankruptcy all over the place, not just in the airline industry. Life is hard. Those are the facts.
