Before I start...I'm not connected with OAT or any other school...yet!
Was at the Flight School trade show on Manchester a few months back. At the end, all the CEO's/important people from each of the schools were at the top of the room for a Q and A session. Also present was a bloke from a charter airline that flies to Malaga (fleet of 75's I think)....can't remember his name or the airline. But he was their chief captain in charge of hiring and firing.
I decided to put the cat among the pidgeons by asking the panel does a school's name influence the decision to take on pilot's. As you can imagine, this was an uncomfortable question for the panel. But the chief pilot guy piped up and the first thing out of his mouth was "Well the airlines would look at where you trained, fro example Oxford..."....long pause...then "....or any other school of course !".
Oxford was the first thing on this guy's head...and he's responsible for hiring for his company.
Take from that what you will....but is it all in the name?
