The very first APP courses caught the first wave of the latest recruitment drive.

Things seem to have slowed down now, so APP students will be coming out with no automatic right to jobs. There is not the 'glut' to go to at the moment.

Therefore, if you re-read what Oxford Blue has posted in 4 months time those figures will not look as complete/good.

However, as Maude Charlee has written, Oxford do tend to push APP students over their 'past' students to justify the hefty price tag of the APP course. Flybe and Jet2.com have been a positive exceptions.

I know of at least 8 pre-APP students who have zero interest in helping OAT as a result of their actions since July 2004 with the BA and Channel Express shocker.

Jet2 did however absorb several pre-APP and modular students to calm things down but I would imagine there must be hidden agreements / ongoings as we speak, for Oxford need to help APP as much as they can for the £££ they have paid.

I can't see bods lining up to do the LPP when quite clearly the APP courses will be pushed ahead!
