As Mayday says there were 5 lucky wings trainees who were employed by BA. I hate the way CTC use the word 'placed'. They weren't placed at all, BA asked for applicants from CTC, they applied and each got the job on their own merits.

This whole top-up to the FPP thing is used as a marketing tool by CTC to lure potential people into the wings programme who may be umming and arring about waiting for a tagged program. What I imagine has happened is due to the increase in number of tagged programmes, applicant numbers for their wings course is down so they pedal this to get the punters in.

It's safe to assume that they only way into BA is through the FPP or as a DEP/ex-forces, anything else and you've got lucky.
