angelorange, I'm not disputing what you say about being sold the CTC 'product', etc. I was in that same boat, over 4 years ago now. I just want people to be clear about the distinction between the people who've come down that route and those that are literally paying to sit where they are sitting (the real "P2F", not the generalisation of "P2F" being made quite often on these forums). That was all.
I'm not sure what you're referring to with CTC blocking movement to another Gatwick-based airline. If you're referring to EI, a fair few ex-cadets did go there, most of them having being let go by Monarch at the end of 2008, and also a few that had done their 6 months with EZY. CTC didn't block that route, in fact they were more than happy to see the cadets 'placed'.
