It is interesting to see that some of you are surprised at an organisation like Oxford getting involved in such a scheme. However it must be remembered that a Flight Training Organisation is a business and the intention is to generate a profit. There is nothing illegal with this scheme and given the facilities that are now under the Oxford training umbrella, I can see more schemes like this in the future. I would also expect that this scheme will be very lucrative for Oxford as well.
Oxford are now in a very strong position and far stronger than CTC when you compare the facilities at their disposal. Will 2010 see Oxford becoming the 'Pay as you go' TRTO of choice for these airlines? I suspect it could well be!
