Has pilot training got its knickers in a twist?

I haven't got any flying qualifications yet, so I very much fall into the category of an ambitious hopeful taking a look at what's on offer.

So are there any courses worth registering for?
The impression I get is that ATPL's don't give you the skills you need, and the MPL is worse but is at least attached to an airline.
Then there's the question of whether there's actually a difference between the likes of CTC and OAA compared with BCFT, stapleford and others. Is it realistically just the price you pay?

Regardless, I'm not prepared to be a sucker for the corporate flying schools or the airlines.

I feel that I've been given quite a negative view of it all by all the sources I've consulted
