I 100% agree with you about having to pay for the privelege of selection. I've not encountered any other kind of industry where this is the case and it was a major factor in me not applying for the Cabair/Flybe scheme and OAT/Excel scheme. I was told over the phone by an OAT employee that they have to pay the software company a certain amount of money each time they use the selection software and pay for HR staff present but surely with the possibility of gaining £40k-£60k from those they are selecting this more than offsets the costs for selection. Shame it will continue as people seem to be more than willing to shell out for it.
