just to add my tuppence worth- I think the standard of 6-weeker probably hasn't changed that much recently, same old mix of reasonable and "have you actually done an aerodrome course?" however surely it's incumbent on the ojtis to try and draw maximum effort from their charges and actually earn the extra money they would like to see for this extra responsibility (here's hoping it actually materialises). those at catc have a very difficult task, teaching complete novices, so give them credit for gettting the ball rolling at all with some of these people. glad to see egbb getting praise as an ojt spot- any others worthy of mention? good or bad? if a unit has a bad rep it should be sorted out, bad ojti-ing can leave permanent scars that just won't go away within the time-scale up to the first summative on the subsequent course. good luck to all those on or going on ojt shortly. keep the rest of us informed as to what you make of the 6-week experience.
