Hedges 81,
I agree, that calling it the "APP" is probably the biggest part of their marketing spin but what's in a name, a name doesn't make you but you make a name, you can't judge a book by its cover... I could go on but don't want to be tedious! Once you turn the BS filter up to max, I still feel that OAT is offering one of the best packages around.
Also, First Officer Fundimntals is more about how airlines work and manage their fuel and schedules plus how to keep the marriage going and personal effects of flying etc. I sat in on a class and found it quite interesting, I hope that Soviet Bloc doesn't think I'm dull too, I only had one class not two weeks...
Other things that I find that Oxford give you are the CRM and Jet Orientation Course which would be quite a big cost if you paid for them later on a modular course.
One last thing, my Dad died last year and therefore isn't a "rich daddy" waiting in the wings to pay for me, I'm paying for everything out of my own pocket. (My Mother rightly inherited everything which probably means it'll go to the cats home when she pops her clogs, where's the love?)
I posted this thread because there is so much Oxford bashing going on mainly from people who haven't been there or are older and learnt to fly through the military and have had there career successes and are watching over us. I wanted to hear what current Oxford attendies and grads had to say, which by and large is positive.
