What on earth does 'in fluition' mean? I can't find it in any dictionary, and online research gives only an internet marketing tool. Perhaps you are a salesman for one or more of the schools??!

This site does not 'perpetuate that there is a problem which is wrong'. It can only reflect the experiences of those currently in training and trying to find a job. It may well be that the majority of OAT and FTE graduates find employment quite quickly - in fact, you would expect that to be the case - but there is a problem for the rest in this perception that a type rating (and another £20,000 investment) is now required. Then we get into the 'paying to work' argument, which is only one step further down the line...

Looking through your posts, it would appear that you think the business of borrowing up to £100,000 is not a problem, and that a type rating is a necessary part of the wannabe's programme, and you claim contacts on the inside of the industry - do you wonder that I think you may be on the sales side? When was the last time you borrowed that kind of money unsecured? It's only not a problem if you're the one being given that money with no risk!
