Think carefully before embarking on this.
I always encourage people to look at OAA employment statistics.
2012 : 202 people got got but 159 had to pay for TR.
Only 43!! got jobs without having to pay for it. Some of those are not UK carriers and doubt that a UK resident would be considered for a vacancy.
8 went to flybe and in all probability will be facing redundancy.
I have been told on good authority OAA throw in the stats people who trained from previous years and modular.
I joined a UK regional airline 6 years ago thinking 'couple of years then something better'. Hasn't happened for nearly all of us. Very few went on to Jet2 and a few to vistajet.
I don't want to p*ss on anyone BBQ but getting a job can be the hardest part of the course, if you know what i mean
