So thats going to be over 70k then?!?!

No way my friend. You could get the same license in the same time for about £30k less than that! That £30k would then be much better spent on a type rating in negotiation with a small operator who would give you a job if you did a rating with them Its going to be on something like a 6 or 8 seater or night freight but after one year of that you'll walk into airline jobs.

IF you are very wealthy then I am sure the course is fine for you. For the more normal self sponsored chap I suggest you forget it. A "gauranteed interview" is just so much hot air - how do the airlines themselves know if they will be recruiting in 18 months time! They don't and they don't care because they are not making any kind of real commitment but I bet OATS are cutting them in on some kind of deal...

That said I know nothing of this scheme other than what has been written above.
