As of the last month or two, CTC have effectively cleared the holding pool and have secured placements for cadets. Lee Woodward said that over the coming months, they were placing around 70 cadets with easyJet, which seems steep, yet it's what he stated at the open day. The placement situation certainly seems to be picking up. Whether there's a job at the end of the 6-month placement is another issue...

100% placement.
Interesting statement. I know for a fact that a number of the guys that ended up at Aer Lingus got those jobs off their own backs.
Does this still mean a 100% placement record? I don't think so.

Actually, could anyone tell me the kind of questions they ask in phase 3 regarding the airline industry? Is it more geared towards current events or the layout (such as planes, companies, engines etc)?
Not much time to prepare so don't want to swot up on irrelevant stuff!

How well are other FTO's comparing at the moment with placing cadets?

The measure of CTC's success should not be a comparison with last year's placement figures but a comparison with other similarly priced integrated FTOs.
As it stands CTC certainly looks to be doing well.

sharpclassic - the lads who got into aer lingus got set up with the interviews through ctc. sure, they had to go through the whole selection process, but so do all the ctc cadets who head off to BA etc.
so yeah, it does mean a 100% placement record.

Nick1012, read about the partner airlines through their websites and maybe wikipedia or the like. also do a google news search on them for recent events. a broad idea of airline industry events/strategies is also good, try flightglobal.com
i heard they sometime get a bit technical if you claim to have a background in aviation, like a ppl. maybe refresh your knowledge if so.
a guy on my phase 3 was asked in quite a detail what is a day like for a pilot on duty - i.e., when you show up for work, when you go see the dispatcher, etc. etc.

Hi folks, this is my first post on here but i've been reading for a couple of weeks since i stumbled across this gem of a forum.
I'm currently a freshly graduated Business Studies student and have decided to pursue a childhood dream of becoming a pilot and CTC seems like a great way of doing this.
Before i bother you with any specific questions i'm going to read this whole thread and take notes, i'm about 20 pages into this one so far....
Would you say it is advisable to read the 'old thread' (CTC thread 1) as well or is that out of date and now essentially replaced by this thread?
Thanks in advance for any help.
PS What's the job market like for a pilot just now?

You'll probably get everything you need from this thread, you'll find everything gets repeated every few pages by people who can't be bothered to read from the beginning! I read the old one too when I was preparing for selection just in case, can't do any harm.
Absolutely dire. Although I hope as a CTC cadet my chances are a shade above dire.
Good luck with it, do your research before you do anything.
