For what it’s worth---why don’t you just ask them?
That's exactly what I did a few months back, after the stories of aircraft unavailability arose on here then.

In short, the answer I got was that they are buying 23 new helicopters to complement their training fleet. (By Feb '05 6 had already been delivered.) Also the JAA students have their schedules pre-booked by the training director and so I was assured I would fly enough to complete the course in 46 weeks. Scheduling for FAA students is more difficult because there aren't set dates for the written exams to schedule around.

I've not attended there yet, but I have a place on hold for the September course. Right now I'm desperately trying to sell my house, while trying to devise contingency plans!!
