CTC are interviewing their own cadets prior to sending those successful onward for BA assessment at LHR. The chosen ones will then have to self fund a airbus type rating at £22,000 through CTC before they can join BA. The same rating costs £10,000 if the decide to join EZY through CTC, but I guess there is a different pay structure at the end.
Over the years BA has always recruited external cadets from the various flying colleges when short on numbers, but paying for your own rating is, if true, a new one.
Only what I heard...
