As guessed, the FTO is Oxford - mainly because CTC, Cabair and FTE don't band about this statement as often as their associates in Kidlington. This BA 'non-modular' remark has been top of their marketing agenda for years. Although never placed in black and white by Oxford, they are only too happy to tell you when you liaise with their marketing guros. Why?? It's not entirely Oxford's doing, it's the amount of 'Tim nice but Dims' out there who have an unhealthy association with BA being the only job for them. They have no real interest in flying, they found out that they were good at spacial awareness exercises at private school. Becoming a Doctor or a Lawyer would take too much time, so Mummy and Daddy would sacrifice 70K 'pocket money' because young Nigel would look dashing in a neatly pressed uniform and pilot's cap. Better go out and purchase the obligitory Breitling now and throw a deposit down for the Volvo Estate and 'BA P1LOT' Reg while we are at it. Who said the 'romance' of being an airline pilot was dead?



classic mate, Im sure it wont be taken too seriously
