Why dont you email or call CCAT or Oxford. Theyll be able to tell you everything. I believe you have to get over 80 or 85% average for your ATPLs and get first time passes in the flying side.

Great news for the integrated schools - it means they can dangle a BA logo in front of all their potential students when they come to look round! - easy money for them!

From the Oxford Website:

Oxford Aviation Training is delighted to have been invited by BA to supply Trainee pilots and Graduates to be considered for selection for entry into the airline under their existing SSP scheme.
