From how i've read it its not £100k. It is in the strictest sense of the word, but just like the BA programme (as i understand it), you take out a security bond of £69k with CTC in this case, which, upon employment with eJ is repaid in installments by the airline; installments paid on top of your base salary.

Andre, it looks a lot like there's another £30k or so on top of the £69k, which doesn't appear to get paid back. Roughly £18,500 of that is what they normally call their "foundation course". The remaining £11,940 is for "phase 4" (this isn't in the "wings" course). These two payments over and above the 69k bond are listed as "MPL Payments". It seems that the EJ MPL costs £11,940 more than the Wings ATPL. Either way, you're still footing £30,000 of the costs.
Did CTC not used to charge an optional £10k to guarantee a job, or have I just made that up? Somewhere did anyway. If so, this seems to be basically the same deal.

CTC have never guaranteed a job and I don't believe they have charged people for it above and beyond the course. In my opinion they (at least used to) heavily imply that a job was assured. Perhaps that was good old confirmation bias though.

This course is pretty much the same as most integrated courses. The only real difference is that you are more likely to get a job at the end of it. You won't be much better off financially than those who take the leap off their own back and - by luck - land a job.

It always used to be that the bond gets paid back only when you have an EJ permanent contract. If you went from flexi to a European contract I believe you had to forfeit the bond, whether this is still the case I'm not sure.

I'm not fully aware of the tax code here in the UK but can any of the training fees become tax relief?
From my understanding EasyJet will repay the 69k bond protection alongside with the base salary. So theoretically if all works out smoothly, you're only having to pay between 20-30k then right?

daveandg...It is good to be blunt but I did consider the fact that everyone is in competition however if you are bound to get through then you will get through no matter how much people help, it is all down to you and just to be yourself which no one can help you with. Was more just to confirm everything in my head though and may of gained extra tips I suppose.
Thanks for your response though buddy

You will easily get your ATPL within 3 years.
That would only require you flying 467 hours a year (1400 TT required + 100 sim)
easy average seems to be around 600 - 700 hours / year

Overall it's a great opportunity and a very good company to work for, but like everything, there will always be downsides and 'economical' moves.
It's a secure place to be and gives the opportunity to live in 6 different countries in Europe while on the whole being some of the best pilots.. (subject to contract..)

MPL - god help us!
Probably the most dangerous method of getting into the right seat. FACT!
Why do you think they are being dropped.....because the MPL cadets don't have the basic muscle memory to fly the aircraft on a dark gusty night.

You clearly haven't flown a level d sim. There isn't a sim out there can reproduce real weather conditions. SOP's don't produce pilots boys....experience does.
I wish you luck!
