well most of what's been said on this tread rings deafening bells, quite right you pay £60k or more depending on how many times they want to rip you off for the next pointless logo change and although you're supposed to be a 'customer' there always exists the underlying reality that those students who complain will not be given the same employment support as others. I agree you should be able to complain without fear of the hand of evil management reaching out and fisting your career chances of walking into a jet job but at OAT that's just part of the environment. You have to be careful and be warned, those of you who have bought the friendly Oxford image, if you don't fit into their little mould of how they think an airline pilot should look, act, think and brethe you may also find yourself put out to graze. Remember the majority of management in that place are either failed airline pilots who once almost had a career and then lost it or people who never made it to begin with and love to think they can control the destination of 'customers' like you.
also feel for the guys in arizona, when I was there the place was a complete shambles, a symphony in amateurish pretention not helped by the slap dash american style instruction which ill prepared us for UK IR
with reference to previous posts praising OAT sims, that's bull. They look impressive on an open day but the 3 fnpt2 sims are beechcraft layout, most useful when you'll be flying a seneca !! also they have LHR layout to impress you when you come round with wide eyes, this too is fantastic because you won't be flying to LHR in IR training, however all the most useful airport layouts seem to be missing from those sim databases - marvelous.
