No. I don't think so.
CTC Cadets, in the absolute VAST majority, are NOT incompetent.
The fact is, they are broadly probably pretty good.
It is the fact that the current CTC schemes, and hence the generally very wealthy cadets therein, are assessed by only 2 main criteria: can you pay over the odds for training, and can you afford to work for not a lot for a good while?
CTC Cadets will NEVER have an accident in a 2 crew operation because they saw, or flew into a cloud.
