Its not an ATPL. You can't have an ATPL until you have 1500 hours. It's a CPL/IR with an MCC certificate.
It is different for everyone. For some it's minutes, some stay in the hold pool for months/years. Some don't make it to the hold pool, that is rare though.
Type rating 2 months.
That's a question a lot of CTC cadets who still don't have jobs ask themselves every day. BBVA don't care, you signed a contract that obligates you to make the agreed repayments, job or no job.
Absolutely no chance unless you get an Italian base with easyJet straight onto a European permanent contract.
Flexicrew is, I'm told, 30 at the absolute most of 900 hours a year and lots of standby duties.
Flybe is low 20's I think.
Monarch and Thomas Cook haven't dipped in for a long time.
Norwegian took a handful late last year. Employed by external agency OSM.
Ryanair don't have concrete links anymore to CTC. You can apply directly to Ryanair as a modular Pilot.
Look mate, your best bet is an MPL course. QR or easyJet. QR get paid more earlier but you have to live in the sandpit.
I believe the flexicrew pay is £32/hr (flying hours only plus standby pay). Hours aren't consistent or guaranteed but it does get you a job and allows you to build hours before being offered a permanent contract (usually after a year) or to apply for something else.
