I think that part of the problem is that some of the tree huggers out there have is that they still imagine that Oxford Air Training consists of the nice chaps at Kidlington who used to train equally nice chaps to join BA some 20-odd years ago.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that OAT joined forces with GCAT to join up and absorb the likes of SAS Academy in Arlanda etc etc to become a rather large conglomerate.

As such, you are naive if you expect the resultant organisation to not go for every contract that they can get their hands on in a global market.

I once worked for George Bachelor, who was the original American redneck. He told me one day that it is simply not possible to become a billionaire by being nice to people.

He was probably right.
