That's really good to hear they did that and some guys certainly got lucky down there !
I'm just still cautious of going to FTE/CTC/OAA self sponsored and not on a tagged scheme despite these cases you hear of, the way i see it is you end up with the same license as someone who went to a less famous school maybe closer to home, spent a fraction of the price and say got Ryanair. Relying on getting extremely lucky at FTE with aer lingus for example doesn't justify spending twice the price without even a conditional offer from an airline is basically what im saying, if im spending 100k i want an airline planning to take me at the end of it, otherwise i'd go modular.
I'm aware i've deviated from the point you've made, Maverick but i'm just trying to clear up my view on things to see what others think
