Excel Airways (Oxford Aviation Training) Programme - 2006

[BobbyK]

Hey Andy, as it turned out the rest of our group didnt actually get through so I was with 5 guys from the morning group on the next day.

Sorry to hear about the maths but good luck with the retakes. I cant remember exactly what was asked but I know there were general maths problems like pythagorass theorum, long divison, percentages...hmm not sure what else but it was definately the kind of stuff id been looking at on gcse bitesize - just maybe a bit wordier.

Sicky - Our debriefing was about 10 minutes after the interview and then we were free to go. Was it this excel scheme or the oxford app you went for? How did you do?

[sicky]

It was the Excel scheme, and i should find out tomorrow!! I've got everything crossed...want this sooo much

Nobody said anything about a debriefing, which were you there for?

[sicky]

Well that's me knocked out of this one! Unable to forward me to stage 3, so now i need to decide if i can afford OAT self-sponsored. I'm not so sure that i can.

[BobbyK]

Yeah same here - just got the email and not through, although its what i expected. The thing is though although this scheme is 'sponsored' if you went to oxford and ended up with a job straight away at the end of it youd be in no different situation to the people who get on this scheme anyway. The main advantage being they pay your loan off tax free but Im sure if you paid it off yourself with the higher starting salary of not being on the cadet payroll youd only be disadvantaged slightly.

Think im gonna go for CTC interview first before i make my decision about Oxford

I have stage 3 at Dibden manor on Wednesday for CTC - Lucky that i didnt put all my eggs into one basket!!
