So what is the concensus now amongst wannabes? Are schemes like this OAT offering and other similar ones on the market (CTC wings) loosing their benefit therefore their value?

My thoughts are 2 -3 years ago £84K debt and reduced salary with the prospect of job offer was a pain, but one of the best (only) ways of getting a very hard to come by job (Jet F/O).

Are the tables now turning in favour of the entirely self "sponsored" as the market is more buoyant? And the all important time to first job is appears (my opinion only) to be reducing for low hours fATPLs? Thus rendering the need for the prospective job offer given by these schemes obselete?

Opinions? esp from the old hands such as Scroggs and WWW.

- was going to start a new thread (Scroggs) but thought it fits in quite nicely here.
