Boogie is right in that in this game, money will inevitably decide who gets the majority of airline positions. I think lots of people probably despise that fact- there is no doubting that OAT integrated guys get jobs- come on, we just can't doubt it. This does not mean they are the best people for the job- it's just convenient- much in the same way that Dixons is more expensive but has poor choice- OAT makes a product- and that is acceptable to an airline. The cost obviously puts off those who can't afford it and therefore some of the best may never be given the chance. WHen cadets were around you could feel that these were some of the top boys for the job- more hours of groundschool etc- now its pretty much pay the 70 big ones and you have a cracking chance to get an airline job. The world is a cruel cruel place....if you're really bothered.
