Re: CTC
I don't think CTC cadets prevent low houred pilots getting fully paid jobs with major airlines. That is a very naive viewpoint.
Airlines are two faced, tight-fisted money-making machines and they would sell their own grandmothers to slavers if it saved them a couple of bob. When the market is favourable to the costs of training and recruitment (and your average low hours pilot needs a lot of training, whether you think so or not) then low hours pilots will be back on the menu for the airlines to devour.
Until then, it's the perceived training risk of gambling upward of £15000 + line training etc on an untested green pilot that's keeping you out of a job. Cadets just lessen the burden of risk while saving money on training - just ask easyJet who binned some of them last Autumn.....
