Re: Oxford (OAT) assessment day - a review

Look, maybe its me, but I cannot see the piont of spending good money just to get into a intergrated school. If you want to blow £75K+ just pop down to your local casino they will help you along. Oxford and others all tell you that they are the best and only they can get you a job.

How many students do Oxford have going through their school per year? How many of them have a job within six months? and is it on a Jet? I would ask these questions of any school I was looking at before I blew that much money.

I got my Blue book for half of what Oxford charge and amazingly enough it is the exact same as the one all you oxford guys get???? WOW

BTW I have not paid for any assessments and just last week had a assessment on a 737 for a job, been looking for 3 or 4 months. Not bad for a crappy modular student and even if I was asked to pay for a type rating I will still have change from £75K, enough to put down a large chunk on a nice RX8 for myself.

What the hell does that mean?????????
