Not true... I've got a friend who has just passed selection for Easyjet (he is CTC integrated) and will be type rating at CTC alongside several modular trainees in May.
I do not know Beelzebub, but I do not believe he is at the orange one. He might be, but I think I remember reading one of his posts a while back that suggested it was another Airbus operator, possibly one that operates the 321.
And jamesgrainge,
I think it is close to £10k for their MCC/JOC.
So significantly more expensive than other places if an MCC certificate is what one is after. But who really is after a certificate? They're after a job. So considering the doors a CTC training report and recommendation can open...
There are people re-doing their MCC with CTC just to get jobs.
