yep, i recently finished and awaiting TR. Keep these discussions in private as with anything with "oxford" on it, the thread will be taken way off track by gales and no answers can ever be landed.

The only people who know how to fly an airplane come from Oxford! If you have Oxford on your CV, you will get a job immediately after completion. Other pilots will not because all other training is inferior and all airlines know this. Oxford is really neat.

yep and 2 type ratings which I haven't paid for no bond no debt 4000+ hours and currently in the LHS of a turbo prop.

You can presume the hairy arse.

And current secondary duty is to find 4 * Jetstream 31 and 2 Jetstream 41 crew. And before you ask they ain't low houred wannabie jobs.

Nah I doudt it, available type rated ICAO pilots with ratings are like rocking horse ****e still on certain types.

737 rating you can wipe you bum with its worthless. Which is what alot of wannbies don't understand when they buy a rating on a shiny jet. They have killed any chances of working in what will be the initial growth of the future. You can have 5000 hours on jets at the moment and nobody will look at your CV. 1000 hours of TP time and still have a rating inside 5 years and you can pick up work.
