Does anyone know how CTC is planning to split the ratio of MPL/ATPL candidates? I heard a while back that OAA was planning to take on 90 or so cadets from this intake, 60 of which will be on the MPL course.

Really beginning to wish I had applied through OAA as they at least seem able to give people a date for interviews...

Not sure how many more times I have to say it...the benefit of route 3 over white tail is the 'opportunity' to get an easyJet offer at the end of ground school. Whitetail cadets can't do that and will complete all training before they get near an airline.
a) essentially "selected pending ground school"
b) the post- ground school selection is a clean slate
Option a) is a slight benefit over the standard whitetail route although it is still a risky propostion. Option b) makes little or no difference IMO. The majority of CTC cadets who do well in ground school will get a job with Easyjet or A.N. other. The risks (ie, not doing so well, global financial meltdown) are identical.

Been hearing the same kind of things out of CTC today.
To quote their reply directly...
"On route 3 as long as you achieve the standard of training required for easyJet you will not be required to undertake any further interviews/selection process to be offered a position with EasyJet at the end of your training."

Useful info Officer Kite. Still not convinced by the route 1/2 though. If everyone who achieves the required ground school standard moves onto the MPL why bother with two separate routes?

That is a reasonable query. My understanding is that the purpose is to judge your performance as to whether you are suitable to the MPL or whether they would feel you may be better off on the fatpl.
So they essentially gather the group they think will be best suited to the MPL (route 1), then those who they think may suit the MPL but they'd like to test in action to find out (route 2), then those who they feel are best off on the fatpl and most suited to that (route 3).
I could be wrong but this is how it appears to be based on what i've been told.

Hello, well I got a reply from CTC saying that day 1 will consist of a short mental maths test and an aptitude test.
I think the mental maths is basic but the aptitude test may be a challenge, but we do get a practice run for these.
Day 2 will consist of a group exercise and an interview with CTC.
BTW, I'm applying for the generation easyJet programme. I do understand there a risks, but its a risk that I am willing to take.

You'd imagine that includes a lot of costs, and yet it usually doesn't!
Enquire about accommodation, fuel surcharges, landing/take-off/approach fees (away from home base), CAA application fees, etc etc
I don't have any experience with CTC/OAA/etc, but a lot of these expensive integrated schools are NOT all inclusive. That's just a fact. BE INFORMED
