It
can be slightly more nuanced than that. OAT obviously push their APP product to the airlines as there is a bigger margin in it for them, it is just common sense. However usually the airlines coming to OAT for recommendations will have criteria of their own eg. 85%+ in groundschool, all first series/time passes....etc with no particular preference for APP or modular.
If this happens to occur when the cream of the APP has already been whipped away by BA, GECAT etc. and there isn't a sufficient number of remaining eligible APP candidates, OAT then proceed to put forward modular candidates who
do meet the criteria.
That was ye olde systeme before Waypoints was presented as a package. Things might have changed.
