My understanding of my CTC course (and I can speak positively on this as I was there....
), was that it was NOT a self sponsored rating.
I paid £200 to sit the selection, and that is it. I did not pay another penny. I think I may have been in a small band of people who had that fortune, as that is how CTC did it then.
I know of others who paid £6000 and had it paid back etc, but I wasn't one of them.
As for them starting it? No, I don't think so. I seem to recall BRITISH MIDLAND letting guys pay for ratings before then. However, as ever I could be wrong.
Anyway. I agree. Self sponsored ratings are possibly here to stay.....but only because too many desperadoes are willing to pay the money.
