No, they are not.
Going to OAA or CTC does not mean you are buying a job. CTC is different as you know. Unlike OAA not everyone can go because not everyone passes the selection, hence the people who go through are the ones who fulfil the partner airlines' requests, so CTC is irrelevant.

If Integrated were the same price as modular then you could argue that it was the selection process that kept people out . However, sadly, its not the most overiding factor. Money is, and therefore you could argue that by going to these schools you are simply buying a better chance at getting in the RHS, not buying a job, but using your money to increase your chances.

I'd bet my house that the people that dont go to these FTO's do so not because they couldn't pass the selection (although there are many that wouldn't) but more so because they dont have the money.

thanks berksflyer and VFE for your constructive comments.!
I strongly disagree with the comment that people dont go to OAT because they dont get in, infact hat is total nonsese! I passed the assesment for OAT but didnt go there because it seemed to me more of a money making organisation! I dont think the price they were asking was justifyable taking into consideation that they send you to the states where its even cheaper.
Anyhow BACK TO THE THREAD PLEASE i didnt want a discussion about OAT or CTC there are other threads for that!

Dihaz,
Sorry, I think I made my point completely wrong. What I meant is that it is perhaps easy to get into OAA and the other integrated schools, so maybe my first point was incorrect.
What I was saying is that I wouldn't count CTC amongst them because the main reason why people don't go there is because they wouldn't get in.

My earlier post was on the topic:
You want to be impatient and you want a jet job to fall into your lap, but as has been said, you don't need to buy a rating and line hours.
Some people's attitude really beats me. Where has all this impatience come from? Why not be happy to work your way up?
Sure if you get offered a jet job take it! But just because you don't doesn't mean you should buy your way there.

guys, you should think positively.
It 's plenty of jobs around, ...
one of my friends just got a job on the 777 with less than 500h.
5 of my friends got job on the 320...
big lie , they all struggle to find a job....they have no job.
at least i gave you 5 seconds of hope
take it easy, if you knock at all doors, one will open(one day).

Don't get too down. It took me three years to get a job. The one thing that is on your side is age. I got into it a little late and most airlines think you are un-trainable after 30 (They have not got the balls to admit it though).
If you get the money together for a TR WITH THE Guarentee of a job, then great.
The FI thing is a tricky one. I spent two years at it and working 11 hour days/seven days a week to pay the rent can be an acidic existance. Although, I still instruct on my days off and really enjoy it. Plus, its extra beer (shiraz) money. If you can live at home, survive on the wages and enjoy it, it could be an option.

cheers james,
yeah a lot of people tell me that about my age (thank god i did do it straight away).
I wouldnt mind SSTR with a job on the other end, its just a matter of getting one.
I dont think i would be interested in instructing, im just thinking if i dont enjoy it then it would make life hell for my students plus why pay for the instructor rating when i could put some more money with it and pay for a TR.
adios
