It's just a matter of timing really. I have no doubt that if the economic climate were looking better the bulk of the good jobs would have gone to people from the likes of OAA. Unfortunately that's the way it is.

However, if you're prepared to work your way up by gaining experience with aircraft other than jets (which will make you a better pilot) and companies other than airlines, having a lot of fun doing so (afterall, it is flying and that's what we love isn't it?), then there is no reason to spend a big premium with the likes of OAA. This also means cheaper training, which means less debt, which means no rush to find a high paying jet job, which means less pressure, which means more fun flying.

Take your pick and pay your money, though be sure how much of that money charged is based on training and how much is based on marketing claims.
