CTC are top of the range when it comes to airline placement with their 98%..
If I'd said I applied for an MPL route with an airline, someone else would criticize my choice because MPL limits my options versus ATPL.
I personally chose the ATPL whitetail route because it broadens my options, and I'll take any airline that wants me. An MPL-airline route 20 months later - the airline's reputation and stability could be different??
And I understand that many on these forums slam down people for paying £100,000 to the likes of OAA, CTC and FTE, but these FTOs are also ahead of the game. The very fact that the big airlines out there recognize these organizations and establish partnerships also speaks for itself. What else are people looking for in FTOs that is more crucial than employability?
