We've been offered the old contracts. On calling BALPA I was informed that this new contract had not been completely finalised yet or something along those lines and would be offered to people in the future.

I have to say I take a rather dim view of CTC on this...
I emailed them stating that I applied but was rejected at phase 1 (no idea why btw - they must have not liked what I wrote...) still waiting for a response after 2 days...
Anyway I suspect the answer will be a no.
On a slightly different point though why not just let people who failed at stage 3/4 retry? Who is going to apply now that didn't apply in the original window...which they had already extended once back in May!

Last minute application
I decided to apply when this programme reopened, I didn't apply in April due to work commitments that I knew meant I wouldn't be able to make the selection dates.
With the reopening of the programme however I thought I might be able to attend the second set of selection, so applied last night. My application was screened (including my earliest start date at the end of the year) and I was accepted to stage 2 today but my heart sank when the email also told me I would have to start training by Sep.
I have emailed CTC back to withdraw from the remainder of the selection process as I am unable to start in Sep due to work commitments and have received a positive response from them.
I have to say I concur with 15206, dealing with CTC has been a positive experience for me in this and other selection processes. It wouldn't surprise me however that there could be delays due to the amount of traffic Dibden is processing at the moment for easyJet, Qatar and all those that are joining their generic Wings program as a result (as well as the unsuccessful BAFPP candidates).
Good luck to everyone else in the selection process!

Good to know you guys have had a different experience. I had emailed them a while ago about something and it took them four days to respond. More recently I sent them questions about easy and Qatar and still nothing...I'm only going on that...
Perhaps I'm just annoyed about the easy scheme because on reflection I did not write what I should have on the app form...

@quantity surveyor:
I have also got a place on the course starting in July. On reading through the material we have been sent, we have not been sent the flexi crew contract to sign as of yet just the two for the training at ctc and an information booklet on the old version of the flexi crew contract on what we can 'expect' but not for the advanced stages of our training. I would expect that once the contract is finalized with balpa we should expect to be given the new contract with the new 12 month cap for flying with an external agency surely??

ContactTower, you've got to be patient, they run a small but perfectly formed operation at CTC and will respond as soon as they can. Expect to wait a few weeks for that sort of query.

I sent in my application yesterday. I will see if I get invited to the next stage. I have a few question about financing the whole thing. I would like some help with this, to get a good picture of it, so I can decide if I will take the "jump" if selected. As far as I understand until now is that you pay a security bond of 69000 Pounds. You pay the 69000 Pounds in 13 installments, so if all the installments are of the same amount I would have to pay around 5300 Pounds each time. In addition to that you pay 2x a MPL Training fee. One of about 17500 Pounds and the other one of 13440 Pounds. So everything together it will be just short of a 100000 Pounds. For me around 120000 Euros.
After training, you get a 3 years contract with CTC FlexiCrew, right? I read the thread and the first eight months your earn about 1200 Pounds. Which according to other people in this thread is doable. So if I can get the same loan "deal" as mentioned some posts before you will not have any repayments during that months. So a news item on the easyJet website says that the total reward package is 40K for full time cadet pilots. So can anyone give me an indication of what I will realistically earn monthly after those 8 months with CTC FlexiCrew? Can I pay my loan with that loan? Or will it be a struggle?
And then after two years and 1250 hours you can apply or switch to a permanent contract at easyJet. Which unless you perform quite badly (or so I read) will be given. So then you go to a first officer pay of about 54K (full time, total reward package). So what do you get monthly, anyone who can say me that? And in addition to that you will get your bond back in monthly installments? I read somewhere that the monthly installments are about 1000 Pounds, so it will take 69 Months (about 6 years). I don't know the UK tax system, but is that what you really back a 1000 each month or is way less?
Also on the BALPA website, their is news of a new easyjet contract. You can only be on CTC FlexiCrew for 12months and than join easyJet as a Second Officer at 38000 Pounds a year. What will that be realistically?
One of my main questions is, that I don't see any financing options on the CTC Wings website which I can use. They got the BBVA option, but I need a property in the UK or BNP Paribas, but both my parents are Dutch and not French. So I can't use that option either. Is there any other financing option, will CTC help me if selected with financing? Or is it up to me to come up with a loan/financing solution?
What starting dates have you been offered? I know for example that at the BAFPP it is sometimes August 2014 or something like that.
I'm sorry if some information has been mentioned at this thread before, but I just want to get a clear idea of what I could be signing up with. Do you think it is good "deal" overall? Because I was developing a back-up plan, join university study a bachelor and try again at BA FPP next year or some scheme like that. But if I am offered this scheme... What would you do in my situation? Take it or leave it?

I'm slightly new to looking at cadet schemes in detail but do these programs usually get extended, from what I've seen this particular one has been extend/reopened twice.
Any particular reasons for this? Such as cost and T/C's, along with being an MPL. I could be wrong but it doesn't seem right that. I only bring this up because no one else seems concerned about it and was curious.

So, I was lucky enough to get a place on the August course. I know there are a lot of varied opinions on this scheme (I'm sure they dont need to be discussed any further), but I have decided to 'go for it' and am very excited & optimitistic!
Anyone else on CP111 in August? Drop me a PM if so

Can anyone please confirm that the starting salary for this programme is roughly £15,000 for the first year and that easyjet can swing the axe and fire you at any given moment ?, Though it mightn't be all bad news if they pay you the £69,000 they promise in a lump sum, if such an event were to occur. I'm trying to decide on what route to go for & trying to see which has the least pitfalls !!
Also, I read that Easyjet can decide not to employ you at all, will that only happen if you fail to meet targets or can they just decide they dont need /want you ?

Received a reject today... better luck next time! I hope my luck will come when I am a little bit older, just turned 19 a few months ago). Not even invited to stage 2 (I have got the requirements, but maybe they also don't know how to check a Dutch high school certificate). To the people that are invited to the next stages: good luck!
Why do so many businesses write: "unfortunately, we're unable to offer any feedback"? You as an applicant don't know where to improve, I really hate it when businesses write that.

Too many people, would take forever to write a reason for every single person. Of course, a system could be developed which gives you basic feedbacks like, unfortunately your education, your workhistory, whatever doesnt fit into our expectations.
but in general, it's too time consuming.

"It is too time consuming".
I know it's time consuming, but it is so much friendlier to the aspiring pilot (or actually anyone looking for a job). I shouldn't be that hard, like make some checkboxes in your email program. So that you receive something like this:
"Unfortunately, we cannot progress you to our next stage for the xxx cadet scheme. You are not progressed because you failed in:
A list of checkboxes:
Education Experience
Aviation Experience
Employer History
General information
Verbal reasoning questions.
If you like you can try to improve mentioned items and we look forward to hear from you next time. Unfortunately, we are unable to go into more detail about why you were not progressed to the next stage".
Or when actually have done a pilapt or compass test, instead of the checkboxes include the results of the test. And then say the passmark for the xxx cadet scheme is a xx out of xx in every subject. So unfortunately you haven't passed.
I really think it is not that hard, I work with an email software suite at the office. Looking at it shouldn't be that hard to include this or even if you don't want to use those email program, you can make a standard email and copy/paste results in it.
