Why do they bother then?
More relevantly, perhaps, why did CTC themselves bother with a more thorough selection process back in the times of unsecured loans and bond repayments by what was a larger pool of of partner airlines (2005/2007)? It was a fantastic scheme back then. Now, not so good.
As the deal worsens, the quality of the product (those leaving/joining CTC) decreases. What was that quote on CHIRP? "Woefully undertrained".

People talking about CTC's placement record, has it not occurred to you that they continue to place people on flexicrew because it is a profit centre for them? They will continue to place people until the day when there are so many flexi FOs at easyJet that each is flying such a small amount that even the most deluded will start to shy away from signing up. I actually doubt the most deluded will ever stop signing up, though my sentiments remain.

I think you overestimate the worldview of many training to be pilots at the moment. Infact, I sure hope you are, because I simply see no reason whatsoever why anyone who had any grasp of what is going on in the world at the moment, would start training on an untagged scheme.
There's nothing like just waiting a while is there? It has to be now now now, even of the outlook is absolutely awful.
