Interesting post LastMinuteChanges...

From an employment point of view, I know obviously the basic reason that not everyone gets employed from the OAA integrated course is that there are not enough jobs to go around but beyond that can you shed any light on why some get jobs and some don't?

I mean is it ATPL theory marks, flying skill demonstrated on the course, or just how a candidate performs in an airline's assessment having been invited? Do Oxford try harder with placements for people who have performed better on the course? To what extent does the standard achieved on the course influence job prospects? Or is it just chance/luck?

Also on a separate note you mention you work for a certain Orange airline now, do you see any hope in applying to them if they run their internal pilot recruitment again?

Thanks for posting on this thread, for people yet to go through the process it is very much appreciated.
