I remember the Dundee operation as well - late 90's IIRC?
Probably some know-nothing in Montreal who had never heard of it.
I don't believe it was ever the intention to re-brand the OAA acquisition as anything other than CAE Global Academy (as the existing FTO's were already named) however the Montreal based project managers were convinced from a regulatory standpoint at least, that it was simpler to maintain the Oxford name to being with. It's evident through the retention of both individual organizations branding in CAE Oxford marketing that both could easily be separated again or the latter simply allowed to evaporate quietly, and the airbrushing of the aircraft tails and dropping of the Oxford brand in specific advertising bears testament to this in my opinion.

Interesting that the thread seems to have lost the interest of anyone other than those of us reminiscing...
