Just Another Number,
I'm with you mate, I too would like to know if these new "all singing all dancing, upgraded, you can't do without it honest" MCC course are going to slip into pre-requisite land for getting a job.
For someone who's finances are already straining at the seams I'm a bit dubious of these altruistic companies selling their wares as "essential" and "the perfect tool for an airline position". All it needs is someone to blow the old "safety" whistle (Will someone PLEASE think of the children) and all of a sudden we're all another thousand quid out of pocket (sponsorship guys disregard).
