BM/OATS A BIG MONEY SCAM?

....has anyone thought that the reply sent to the wannabee who didnt sit the tests was purely an administrative error?....just a thought!
From my experience I feel that the tests OATS run are very good. They are run in a very professional way and a full report is available to all who sit the tests....in my opinion far better than the "in house" farce run by Cabair!....what do you get there!...the delight of watching students mark the last paper as you sit the next one!...how professional!
At the end of the day it is likely that most people who apply are likely to have the aptitude to become a pilot...from recollection I think you have to achieve higher scores than a sample of average people from the UK? Perhaps the people who dont get through don't meet the personality profile the airline set down?
From a business point of view who wouldn't take to opportunity of sending self sponsoring information to those unsuccessful uncandidates? I would say it would be worse practice to send it to those who dont have the aptitude to be a pilot.
Perhaps it is those who are unsuccessful in getting through to the next phase who grind most axes?? OATS give the best value for money in my opinion (..test-wise!) :-)

TrimTab,
I think that judging by the different occurences that you are being a little generous, but I do sincerely hope that a school the likes of OATS would not purposely pull a stunt like that.
So maybe I should give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

As I understand what OATS is doing is testing (say) 100 people for the BM scheme. Offering the (say) best 20 to BM for interview. AND THEN writing to the next best (say) 20 to say - in effect - look you haven't got through to the BM interviews but from your tests we reckon you are fit to enroll on a course yourself with a fair degree of success.

I think it would help if Tugtishu could clarify 'many numerous independent sources'. This would sort out whether or not an administrative error occured or whether this was common practice. If the latter is the case then it would appear that a standard letter goes out to everyone who fails to get further with BM purely as a marketing exercise, regardless of their performance. In this way they can generate interest in their own scheme and encourage those people to apply. However unless OATS gets you to pay for the tests that they will put you through after such an application, I don't see how informing a candidate who hasn't passed the aptitude tests, can be beneficial to OATS.
