CTC holdpool (ATPers)

[Superpilot]

22 Saab 340's for July delivery

I heard it was 209 PA28's due for 1st April.

Ah, we're being crazy pranksters again are we? Just when you think AutralianGoose is making some sense *bam* he pulls the rug from right under you!

As CTC doesn´t seem to be updating us, I thought we could update ourselves. If people from the different AQC´s could write how many currently are swimming from their classes, it would be great.

Start July?
Start August?
start September: 9 pro swimmers
....

Anybody been contacted lately regarding start of TR´s?

thanks

[Uniform46]

Start of July - at least 1!!

Or have we? You'd think, with the amount of emphasis that CTC put on keeping each other 'in the loop', they might adhere to it themselves. Anyway, optimistically standing by for confirmation of the March 12th start.

Which leaves 3 still swimming from start of July course.

Chocks, does this mean that you guys were recently called, and would I be right in assuming that it's for EZY?

So we have:

July - 3
August - ?
September - 9 pro swimmers with loads of talent
October - 7

[ChocksAwayUK]

That's right, or so EZ tell us (remember we are already in their system due to our previously cancelled TR, so they can contact us directly ) but CTC haven't confirmed yet.

December - 6 olympic swimmers with even more talent and a raft!!

You'll find the raft a useful asset

Any knowledge on the August numbers?

[Mooneyboy]

November AQC - 4 dived elegantly and with style into the pool.

[golfrocky]

So August people, you´re gonna come out of the pool and tell us others how many you are?

[Saffer]

Apparently the August guy 'n girls are not the best of swimmers (unlike the Sept AQC who are primarily athletic Adonis like figures who excel at swimming and golf) and therefore are finding it difficult to speak up.... However there is a strong rumour circulating that there are 7 of them

July - 3
August - 7
September - 9 pro swimmers with loads of talent and Adonis like abilities, much admired by all
October - 7
November - 4
December - 6

So here's hoping the next call up is for 36 of CTC's finest, at least the Forest Park Hotel has a heated pool

[Lee Frost]

Does anyone know why the Nov course was so small? Was it a very lean intake or were some people chopped?
Hopefully an update will come soon from CTC. If anyone has any info on recruitment plans from partner airlines other than EZY that would be interesting.
Cheers,
LF

November was probably a lean intake. The current AQC only has 3 ATP'ers.

[Kerropi]

Hi,
What kind of jobs are you guys doing while waiting in the pool?
How many people failed in your AQC course?

This might be a trend as CTC were concentrating on Wings applicants from July onwards. As an ATP applicant I applied in August, didnt get offered Phase 2 until October, where there were only 3 ATPers and I think I was the only one to get through, Phase 3 end November where there were only 2 ATPers we both got through, but we cant get on the AQC until May.

I think the main reason why the Nov AQC was so small was that there were 4 guys who were all pre-assigned to aerocypria and started their 737 course about a week after the AQC finished. There were 6 Wings so in total there were 14 doing the AQC. I would imagine that they had room for only 4 ATP'ers. Luckily no one on our course failed AQC.

Continueing with my full time proffesion as Project engineer, Taking 3 weeks annual leave for the AQC so I can work up until TR. Current employment have no idea of my flying intensions, and hopefully won't until I get the majic phone call. Aviation is not a business to go into where you would want to burn your bridges.
An indication of why people fail the AQC would be of interest, as I have the AQC in May, failure is not option but feel anxious that it is possible
