I was a student on 245.

Just to keep things up to date, aside from the four guys taken on by BA and two sponsored pilots, no one (on a course of 18) has had any joy on the job front. We generally finished about 2 months ago and hopefully this drought is more a reflection of the slower summer job market.

A few of my colleagues have had some promising leads recently, both through Oxford and off their own backs, so hopefully the market is picking up again.

I have heard mixed opinions on just how much assistance the careers team have been. But ultimately, if they have no airlines asking for graduates, there isn't a great deal they can do.

My two cents worth... I had a great time at Oxford and believe they run a good course, though I obviously have nothing to compare it against. BUT... if you want an almost guarenteed job when you finish and can get in, go to CTC (I believe they have a 97% employment rate).

Best of luck to everyone looking
