Oxford

You invest heavily in sales and marketing and it pays dividends.
You cleverly manipulate statistics and it pays dividends.
You expand into the TRTO market and it pays dividends.
You advertise 'airline partnerships' and it pays dividends.
You promote yourself as a global player and...yep, you guessed it.

The average age of an Oxford cadet is what? 20, 21, 22?

Naivety is still ripe. Oxford thrive upon it and it will continue. They are a business after all and there are still plenty who will throw 70K+ at an ATPL.

Even if you stood up in the middle of one of their open days and managed to successfully contradict many of their statements, those around you would only ignore your rants. These guys are already 'sold' and you will merely be the annoying chap who spouted a load of guff at their seminar.

Fair play to Oxford, they have made a nice little bed for themselves. They are more than aware that many potential suitors will see through their 'sh1te'
however the number that refuse to see beyond their 'razzmatazz' far outstrips those who won't.
