CTC have never offered any pay to fly schemes
From the CTC website.........
When do I start earning a salary? How much will that be?
Once you have successfully completed your Foundation, Basic and Intermediate Training, the next stage is to complete Advanced Training which may be sponsored by an airline. This comprises ground and simulator training, followed by base training (when you will fly an airliner for the first time). Next you will commence flying with the airline on the line, completing your line training and a period of line experience. The terms of your placement will vary from airline to airline and depending on the current requirement. Normally you will first complete an 8 month line training and experience period during which you will normally be paid a subsistence allowance from CTC of about £1000p.m. It will only be on completion of that period, when you have proved to the airline that you are 'the right stuff' and that you have reached all the proficiency levels required, that you may be offered full time..............
but probably not because we have another muppet with £50k to burn to replace you
In the mean time all costs of training so far will be paid for by the candidate. And the really clever part........ they are paying you back £1,000 a month which is part of the money you have given them for the training costs in the first place allegedly.
There used to be a company in the USA which fortunately is now no longer. They used to offer an ab initio CPL/IR for $19,990. They used to advertise "guaranteed employment as a flight instructor Program" for $38,000. When you looked at their other courses, the CFI, CFII and MEI courses totalled $5,000 with $1,000 in exam fees. They then paid a salary of $1,000 per month for approximately 12 months. They used to take all your money from you upfront and then pay it back as a salary for being a flight instructor, unless they went bust first then you got cock all back!!!
Striking similarities........ but then again, it might only be pure coincidence and it might be that P2F doesnt really exist
