I guessed J* would be no different.
Eyon - you're right!!

The one common denominator in all these schemes is:

OXFORD AVIATION ACADEMY

Petteford has demonstrated that he is very competent in selling airlines the product he has to sell!! It doesn't matter what airline, the business model is exactly the same.

Just in case you are wondering he doesn't sell flight training to individuals, although this is a very lucrative by-product as far as his company is concerned given the inflated prices his organisation charges.

Anyone that calls an individual who is not attached to an Airline brandd scheme a 'white tail' is certainly not interested in you as a customer who is spending a significant amount on money, you are just an income stream - it is as impersonal as that!! Nothing personal, just business!!

He actually sells a concept to airlines that can provide them with a neutral cost training solution in which the Airline has to bear no training risk. This provides the Airline with a bunch of highly motivated individuals who have no choice but to yield to unacceptable Ts and Cs and being treated like sh1t and ensures that Oxford can continue to badge their APPFO course with a designer airline branding (albeit with no tie in). This allows them to charge above market rates and ensure a continued supply of Gen Y individuals with Shiney White Jet Syndrome who do not yet understand that money is hard earned and easily spent to get themselves into a very significant debt for the sake of dreams.

What allows him to get away with this? YOU!!!

The thing is that that the wheels are starting to fall off. Everyone worldwide is waking up to these scam schemes that OAA are in the middle of. Check out the negative comments about the MPL progamme that Petteford talked Easyjet into elsewhere on PPRune, this provides a good snapshot of how everyone feels.

Good Luck in your deliberations
