A good excuse for Oxford Aviation

I have a friend undertaking an intergrated course at Oxford Aviation, something I am currently thinking about.

He said that Oxford are sending 2 courses away for a month due to cracked wing spars. Whilst this is genuine, apparently Oxford had already sent these courses away due to an instructor shortage causing a massive backlog in the flying.

With ever increasing numbers on training courses, if Oxford don't have enough instructors, what are they going to do when they have a full fleet of aifcraft to choose from?

I certainly wouldn't want to pay the best part of £65k for an integrated course only to be told to take 6 weeks off in the middle of it.
