Hi all
As a first timer, I thought I'd pipe up finally!
I think Captain Orange's comments are very valid indeed. As a dad with a potential ctc candidate I can also understand that as a parent we should support the tin lids to make sensible decisions.
After all it's almost always OUR MONEY that company's like CTC happily take!!
This gives us the right to ask such questions. We have done our homework and visited CTC open days and attended the other bun fight known as the flyer exhibition, it's too easy to get caught up with the slick sales talk etc. and almost push our kids to get in while everyone is so upbeat about the pilot shortage (?) and a 98% chance of a job!!
Guys wake up - send them off to do a sensible Degree first, get some life experience. If there are no jobs in 3 to 4 years then you've made a smart choice and have got a degree to fall back on. If CTC are still solvent and actively looking to prize peoples hard earned cash - then go for it.
