Pilot Pete:
I'm not knocking CTC either, I'm just speaking from little experience.
I personally know 12 people who went to CTC. 2 in 2001 and 10 in the summer of 2002. The two (British) people that went in 2001 got accepted and went to a 737 and a 757 job, all good stuff.
Of the 10 who went in 2002, 6 got jobs (guess which nationality,) and in my opinion, which might not count for all that much, the people that didn't get through were much better pilots, and i'm not the only one that thinks so.
I realise that CTC is a business, and they want to make a profit, and if they have a tie up with a foreign trainer then fine, as long as people know about it.
I'd go for it myself if I thought it was a level playing field.
And I would also wear CTC pants if it meant getting a job!
