The fact is that other FTOs provide the around the same quality of training (some better, some worse), for less €€€s. With regard to schools claiming credit for the employment of those left to their own devices, that happens everywhere. Why else would Ryanair or Cityjet be mentioned on their websites? That is irrelevant when comparing different FTOs. Thomas Cook also hire out of CTC, and dare I say, if they need even more low-hour FOs, they would take their business to FTE. And apparently, OATs employment figures also include people in the hold pools for the respective airlines. I would be interested in the ratio of people on the course to those employed with airlines after graduation at Oxford.
"Food for thought..." Exactly what I was thinking. The price of food and accomodation in addition to the hefty €90k price tag is incredible. At least in FTE, that is all looked after. And the course size is smaller in FTE, which I think is an advantage.
