fibod / tailscrape - you can't seriously be telling me that airlines use the CTC scheme because they want a premium product. They use CTC because 1. IT IS CHEAP and 2. It produces an acceptable product.
CTC is nothing more than an unsolicited self-sponsored type rating with a little screening thrown in. The screening is nothing different to what gets done during the normal airline recruitment process - it's just that CTC wannabes are now paying for their own interviews, testing, MCC, AQP and eventually (although not directly) a type rating. Another backward step for our profession!
fibod - as for your reasons why companies should be using the CTC scheme - that would have to be one of the largest loads of rubbish that I have ever read on this site.
