Phil,
Whilst what you say is 100% accurate, OAA does, in fairness - extend the "skills whatsitmethingy" to the EZY scheme - therefore I think I'm right in saying that if EZY subsequently don't take on the successful candidates after this line training, AP dips his hand into his pocket.
Whether and to what to degree that applies to any particular aspect, I don't know without looking into it and certainly the requirement to self fund 75 hours of line training is loathsome and places this scheme - IMHO - into some grey area between a SSTR and a P2F scheme. It's neither one thing or another.
