Excellent post, I often thought half of the students who have gained employment on there website have done it through GECAT so they funded there own type rating (about £21000) and then a few have gone to Ryanair again funding there own training, both of these places accept Modular students providing you pass selection, then there’s bound to be a few who have done it of there own back, so that leaves a few who OAT have secured employment for, compared with the number of pilots they train a year that’s not many. What makes me laugh though is the guy they use in the picture standing in front of that private jet (Canadair CRJ I think??) was a modular student with them who found employment himself, but wrote in to Oxford telling them and sending a Pic!!! I have had a look around Oxford and I think that there an excellent training organisation and I wouldn’t mind doing the Ground School there but as for jobs at the end….”Don’t believe the Hype” (Public Enemy Quote!!!)
