Another thing to note about those satistics.

They arn't just intergrated students. Its anyone who has done any training at OAT. Be it Ground school, distance learning or flying.

I had phoned up Steve C when I got my first job to tell him the good news. And that year of the 5 people who were claimed by OAT on there website for our company. Two of us were mod ground school, one full time ground school, one did his cpl with OAT then went to exeter for the IR. And only one had done an Intergrated course but he had instructed for 1.5 years before getting the job.

And to be honest looking at the list of companys there are some very noticable omissions/ very low numbers in comparision to numbers of first job pilots being taken on. Flybe, eastern and BMI regional being a prime examples.

And i notice they have removed the previous years results could it be they don't want people to see that during the greatest high in pilot recruitment in the last 10 years the number of OAT pilots getting jobs is actually dropping?
