Thanks for the correction AirHart
This guy fly's for Monarch now on the bus fleet after the CTC ATP scheme though I know he did do his fATPL training with OAT. The conversation was a while ago so I may have mistaken the course that he was on/or the number of years he was searching for a job.
Going back to employment statistics I know that CTC can make the claim that all their wings cadets have been placed with an airline (even after Sept 11 the holding pool was empty in about 6 months) and whilst OAT may have a good record of helping/finding cadets jobs their record is by no meens 100%.
Although in any course or airline sponsorship a job is never guaranteed!
