I have seen the same update from ARL and so can confirm what landing lighter says. As for the special requirements last time round for eJ they were that the pilot trained at CTC either integrated or under their Take Off modular program. I see no reason why that will be changed other than there are not enough candidates.
Do not forget that these selections will be taking place between June and September so that's up to 5 months more CTC cadets going through at >20/month so most likely >160 cadets and I would guess 20+ Take Off pilots too. I would very much doubt that eJ and Flybe together would need more than that.
Although I think it is nice and right that CTC keep all the ATPers in the loop I can't help but think that is all it is. Unless something drastic changes in the coming months I fear early next year you will all simply be flushed out to make room for the next bunch ready to spend 10k on an empty promise.
