As I understand it, if you want to apply to join CTC's ATP scheme, then you must pay for their AQC course as the first step.. .. .Successful completion of the AQC, and selection procedures for the ATP scheme then allow you to be placed into a 'pool' of pilots. CTC then approach airlines with specific requirements and will place pilots from the pool, with the client airlines. . .. .I believe that a bond is payable at this stage, but I do not know how much it is, or what the conditions are.. .. .easyJet's web site states that CTC currently carry out their 737-300 conversion training,so they will probably have some influence to place some of their pilots with easyJet!. .. .I stand to be corrected on any of the above!
