The numbers look good to me. It means I am higher in the pool than I thought!
I think there is now only 4 from the Feb course as I believe one of us has since started with Flybe. Not placed by CTC I would add.

37 is quite a lot! I have a horrible feeling that some of us could easily be waiting 12 months+ in total. I read on a thread in terms of endearment that EZJ, might have gone too heavy on the recruitment and are now over-crewed. Therefore, recruitment will not resume until November at the earliest, not a good thing. I can't think of any of the partner airlines that are likely to be in the market for pilots until next year. The only hope seems to be that Virgin and BA recruit heavily causing a pull through effect, opening up vacancies in the partner airlines.....wishful thinking.

37 does sound a lot but it could also empty rapidly when the time comes. It won't be long before some airlines start their recruitment drive for next year, they usually like to have a mix of experience so you never know. Some may also find alternative employment as it would seem from the Feb course...congrats
When the guys, (and girls if there are any), near the front of the line get fished out spare a thought for the rest of us and drop us a line to let us know you've gone so we can share in your jubilation and occupy our minds working out when our turn may come
Meanwhile I guess it looks like this:
Sep - 2
Oct - 4
Nov - 4
Dec - 6
Jan - 3
Feb - 4
Mar - 6
Apr - 7
Total 36

So, the list reduced by two from September and two from October. Was that because they were placed with airlines or because the list info was slightly wrong? Nice work pushapproved, thanks for your efforts!

I don't know why numbers are disappearing from more recent courses, as I have said before can only assume that either airlines have 'pledged' to take ATPs and then changed their minds, for whatever reason... or people have found alternative employment in the meantime.
Cooluk, you seem adamant about the December numbers, I guess you know something we don't so I make the numbers as follows:
Sep - 2
Oct - 4
Nov - 4
Dec - 4
Jan - 3
Feb - 4
Mar - 6
Apr - 7
Total 34

I think CTC, are talking about the END month of the course rather than the START month. Hence when they are talking about the December group, they are talking about the course starting in November that finished in December. Catch my drift?

Start Month
Just to clarify, the numbers I've used are based on the month the course started. If anyone believes the numbers to be different on that basis, speak up! They should all add up the same.

Why can't you just ring CTC up and ask them for the figures - you're the client after all? Ring them every month if you want to know.
(By the way: No I haven't done the course, far too old for that, and yes, I WOULD fail it, quite right there, whoever said it.)

There is an advert in Flight International in the job section for Monarch Airlines. They are after first officers for their "ongoing recruitment" needs. I wonder if this is a sign of some iminent movement for us or is that just wishfull thinking?!?!?

Did anyone else get a copy of "the Standard". I see the guy that sorts out our placements has been promoted. I do hope he can find the time to maybe send us an update at some point and let us know roughly where we are on the list of priorities and whats going on. If there is nothing to tell then so be it but at least let us know that we are being thought of. I know we are in a good position, must be patient and all that but I have paid a fair amount of cash, we all have, and at least we should occasionally get a honest update (which would only take 30 min to write once a month as promised) with good or bad news to keep us in the picture. I would like to at least have some guide as to how to plan my life over the next year and what to expect.
I know CTC are sound but they simply don't communicate with us. It's most frustrating. CTC if you are listening please put me out my misery and stop me complaining by sending an update!!!!!
PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!
Feel a bit better for that rant! My apologies!!!
PS Last update recieved 30th March. Am I the only one who feels negelcted?
