A380kid People on these forums might get annoyed by me constantly praising the flying school I am with however listen to this for a minute! All pilots first think of Oxford as soon as they decide to take the plunge.  However many people miss their biggest rival - CTC Aviation.  Oxford train you up to airline standard no problem and I believe they are an excellent school having graduates go to the likes of BA, however after it is finished you are left to find a job for yourself, competing with other pilots with more experience.  CTC however train you up to an excellent standard too and after you graduate you then get a position on an AQC course followed by a type rating on a B737 / A319/20  / B757 along with a guarenteed (providing you are on the wings course) 6 months line training as a second officer on a partner airline (BA, Easyjet, Thomson...).  I have heard from Oxford students themselves comments such as "the CTC stars get the jobs" etc!!  So, take a look at CTC Wings first and I think if you pass their selection you will be much happier in their hands than you would Oxford's especially at times of difficult employment.  Saying this however Oxford are amoungst what is generally considered as the top 3 training schools (CTC, Oxford, FTE). Whichever one you chose though you will come out with the same licences, however all I am saying is why not just give yourself the best chance of employment! Any questions just ask! Morbz    Report
