Thumbs up

Well said PPrune Towers.

But the main issue here is surely the escalating costs of aviation training.
65K is far too much money to be spending on training of this kind!

If you were to get (as most others have said) a Type Rating or some invaluable experience, then this course would most probably be worth the money.

It is in 'MY OPINION' Oxfords attempt at trying to make more money out of people who are 'chasing a dream'.
If for example we could all have a dream come true, whatever it may be, then we would probably pay for it.
Even with this course your dream is not guarenteed to bcome reality. So this makes me question is it really worth the money? I think not.

I can only say i have not heard a positive thing said about Oxford since i started flying 2 years ago.

The words 'Trading on a name' spring to mind!

I think we are all victims of the shiny promo papers and the big pictures of pilots with the two Gold epulettes.
You only have to look at Multiflight to see how a good marketing department works.

Any way i hope thats not too boring.

FAO Scroggs- My first sensible post! What do you think? Can i be an Airline Pilot now please?
