Rex just a quick one on your conscious decision never to join Ryanair etc.
I'm not sure that doing an £80k+ integrated course at Oxford compared to my modular course that cost me £30k and subsequent RYR type rating at £25k, makes you any better than those who just picked a different route. Having done the Oxford route and paid twice the price as some of us doing a modular course, you opened up doors to yourself that modular guys didn't have - especially at that time. Be careful sounding too proud when all you did was avoid paying £15k to flybe for a type rating that would have pushed your total training costs close to £100k.
Before training I made the conscious decision never to go to Oxford for the same reasons you didn't want to go to RYR.
