Just a thought on the risk assessment thing-and something seldom pointed out here-around 2/300 whitetail CTC cadets graduate per year,
afaik, if they were waiting unreasonably long for jobs, or always getting screwed by CTC, there would be a whole lot more negativity on this thread from past cadets.
There is a BIG risk, no one is denying that, and I know a couple of people who did get shafted by CTC, but just wanted to point out that a forum inevitably attracts the bitter/jealous far more than the happy.
Oh, and you can get kicked off airline courses if you don't reach the standard as well... Nothing is 100% in life.
