What about equal opportunties for direct applications and job advertisments, it almost seems illegal that you have go via CTC as a cadet / ATP or Oxford schemes.
I am personally frustrated like many others that have trained either modular or at integrated schools that these organisations (CTC / Oxford), become a road block for us to start our careers or move into once we have gained some proper experience at this end of the market.
Spot on, I'll repeat what I've said previously. Ageism is illegal in this country. But that's not an obstacle to get cheap labour. Not when you only hire via a scheme which
BY DESIGN rules out anyone older than the age of 28-29!
Young pilots = eager pilots = willing to accept whatever is on the table.
If CTC were to provide stats on the last 200 pilots employed by EZ, what would would the graph representing them look like? Face it, ageism is alive and well at the low cost carriers.
