The new FOs around me at the moment (all from one of the 2) are getting in to hold pools or positions in 1-3 months out of flight school, sub 6 months in EVERY case I've heard.
That's great, and I wish them all the best.

But are you saying that 100% of Oxford/CTC graduates make the holding pool for a jet job?

Also, if you check the initial post of this thread (which has now gone wildly off topic) it was a guy considering doing modular training at Oxford.

The benefits of Integrated schools are well known, and there is no doubt that if you have £120K cash to spend then this is your best chance (note, not guarantee) of landing a jet job.

But I don't think we should encourage wannabees to get themselves in vast amounts of debt unless they are willing to face the consequences of paying back that debt on a Flight Instructors salary, should they be one of the unlucky ones who don't end up in the jet holding pool right away.
