from what i gather so far, in the past it seems CTC were an excellent route into the dream job, but now it seems the current economic climate has taken over making it a bit too much of a gamble, it will always be a gamble, but the odds seem more heavily stacked against getting a job at the end of it.

i may still go to the open day in march to see for myself, but as much as i want the job, i cant risk my familys future just to try to secure my dream.

will it help me to get as much small plane flight lessons as possible before making a firm decision on my route into the career?

the main problem is the cash, its just sooooo hard to get together the kind of money required to actually train to be a pilot in the first place!
