Looking ahead I intend to pursue a career within the airlines.
No doubt someone will have their say against this and how much they hate them, but a lot of mod guys that have been through CTC are getting into Ryanair reasonably quickly, because the Wings guys tend to hold out for Flybe or easyJet, although both those airlines have also taken mod guys in the last year. It ALL depends on ATPL performance, CPL/IR passes, AQC result. If you screw up AQC, then yes you'll find it tough to get placed, but work hard and you'll be fine.
And yes I know there's a lot of debate about the cost of CTC takeoff against other mod courses, but then getting into a jet seems to be much quicker than going through another school. One guy on our AQC (I'm on Wings), he did his ME CPL/IR training at BCFT at Bournemouth 3 years ago...I guess it depends on priorities and how much you are willing to go on the "save money vs getting into a jet" curve.
Just my two cents, now for a CTC-hater to come along...
