Capt. Wanabee,
Good point re FTO's. I remeber very well the uncertainty feeling before ATPL training. I was in the same course as New FO and we both acheived the same grades and even shared the same appartment in Arizona.
However now he has a great job and I don't. (Well done New FO by the way
) Am I concearned ........... not too much. OAT keep in regular contact and I'm always praying for an airline to answer one of my e-mails!
I couldn't fault OAT in their training, I acheived better grades and first time passes in all flying tests there - far better that I thought I could acheive.
I couldn't possibly say which FTO course is better - probably all very similar or if you should train intergrated or modular.
I have heard a rumor though "student rumor network" that OAT are starting a new scheme with GECAT called (or nicknamed) the GPP. I can think of at least four large carriers students have gone to.
Having been unsucessful @ GECAT I'm slightly biased. (Make sure you can get sim checked on B737 is all I'll say!)
Good luck and feel free to ask any thing. I've got quiet a bit of spare time on my hands at the moment!!
