What confuses me is - Oxford can't guarantee you a job with an airline even if you sign up for the partner scheme surely. If not then all they are offering is a guarantee of an interview (or several) with airlines. Does this mean that they now no longer give any help at all to people on the basic £54,000 package to find a job afterwards? If so then basically is this scheme just a way to charge an extra £11,000 simply for a guaranteed interview? Surely there is a limit to how far OATS will go.
I've just checked OATS website and the basic £54,000 package claims that the graduates will be 'fully airline ready', however the £65,000 package, in addition to claiming to set up interviews 'for suitable students', claims to 'train students to higher levels', claiming they will be 'far more airline prepared than other pilots'. How can they get more highly trained than 'fully airline ready'? Exactly what additional training does it entail - there are no details?
