I am new to the forum, even though i have been reading since the day i started my training (summer 2012).
Just wanted to add information on this thread.
I am a ctc takeoff graduate (modular) and i successfully finished the AQC recently and found that it was a very good and well structured course.
But more importantly, i know that at least one modular guy who finished the aqc last september got an interview with easyjet and got the job. So, there has been some movement in the ATP pool.
I do not know how and why this guy was selected but it seems to me that the ATP pool does not work in a ''first come first served'' policy.
Keep in mind that CTC reads PPRuNe.
