Good luck to both of you! I did the assessment early march, and tomorrow I am heading to Copenhagen for my base training! Very excited 
There's four of us on the B733, starting at Luton on the 23rd. Hope to see you on the line!

Oxford only do Integrated courses. As far as i know, they are just starting to do mod training now, which they have some special name for?! However this has only started within the last few months so i can pretty positively say that any cadets who have been recruited recently would have been via ther integrated route.

Don't want to spark the modular-integrated debate and sorry to hijack the thread but Oxford have run modular courses ever since I was there in 2002. Maybe even before then.
On the original topic I am surprised that Easy have taken straight out of training. They must have lowered their threshold requirement.

Oxford not doing modular is one of those funny aviation myths that seem to go around every now and then. In their hey day when Oxford was filled with BA, BMI, Aer Lingus and Middle East cadets they tended to play down modular and the marketing department would actively state that doing modular would harm your job chances. Then came along 9/11 and it all changed. No more cadets and guess who they targeted? Yep the good ole modular student. BAE/FTE had a similar approach and seem to operate a modular scheme whenever the integrated numbers are down. That's why sometimes they aren't interested in taking you on just for the CPL/IR whereas other times in the year they will be only to happy for your money.

???
So If Easy are taking Oxford low hour pilots, and CTC cadets and people who do the CTC ACQ course (or whatever its called), why do they still stipulate 500 multi crew as a min requirement on their website. Would it be fair to assume they dont think the low timers will stick around long enough to occupy the LHS??
What is the point behind all this OAT recruitment when there are more experienced people lining up at their door?
Why pass up people with 1000+ hours in preference to OAT pilots?
They are going to have to go through the same process for selection.

OSOP I think you'll find that the requirements on the website are for direct-entry FOs. EasyJet (and other airlines) take new hires at a variety of levels of experience, right up to direct-entry captains. Their relationship with CTC was always intended (as far as I am aware) to provide the majority, but not the totality, of their new pilots. EZ's expansion has probably outstripped the pilot requirements postulated at the time the CTC deal was sealed, and thus they are widening the net. I very much doubt you'll find that EZ will accept applications from current or recently-graduated students, but instead they will accept recommendations from certain schools.

That's true of those who have come through the 'Cadet' Ab-initio route, Scroggs.
However there is also the ATP scheme that takes on those who already have a 'Frozen' ATPL and put's them on the AQC 'Bridging' course and subsequent type-rating and line training. So of course they could have got their fATPL anywhere.

I suspect that what Crags meant was that those guys who joined the Wings scheme at the ATP stage (i.e. those already holding CPL/IRs) did so having completed their training prior to CTC in a modular fashion.
Clearly the Wings Cadets (i.e. the ab initio entrants) all go through modular training, as Scroggs said.
