we have all succeeded in getting ourselves into the best school in Europe at this moment in time, which in the eyes of the airlines puts Oxford mods/ints ahead of the other schools before we even open a book. If it wasn't, we wouldn't keep paying out a fortune.
Oh Dear.
Now this is the sort of thing that causes peoples blood pressures to rise - for all sorts of reasons.
1) Best school in Europe. Hmmmmmm. Lets merely leave that as 'debateable'.
2) Being an OATS 'graduate' does not put you ahead in the eyes of anyone. In fact I've worked at places that specifically wouldn't hire Integrated 'graduates'. OATS has no special reputation. A hierarchy if there is one runs simple, small modular schools, larger modular schools, Integrated schools.
3) You keep paying your money because with the best will in the world you don't ever know much about the flying training world until long after you've left it.
Its mildy worrying but not at all suprising that many of OATS customers feel they have an advantage by their choice of basic training provider. Whilst it is a fine school some do argue that their best department is none other than their marketing one..
Caveat Emptor.
Cheers
