In my opinion going through oaa and fte is useless at the moment unless you are willing to waste your money. Fte cadets are mainly hired by volotea and ryanair. If you end up flying for volotea, you must pay a far more expensive type rating than its average price to fly a god-forgotten plane. Nobody use a 717 anymore maybe some third countries airlines. The second officer contract will make you survive during summer seasons and make you a hopeless homeless during winter. Expect to fly 20 hours and earn 400 euros per month during winter time. Or if you're lucky enough you will end up in Ryan where modular guys are also hired but having paid one third of what fte cadets have to. Same apply to OAA. Ctc, instead, offers a wider pool of airlines like easyjet, flydubai, monarch and so on where you can earn a more respectable salary and have a better working conditions. So if integrated is your choose ctc might worth your money.
