Sorry, to make clear, the quality of training in the US is very good, ie, the instructors methods and teaching abilities are without fault (Brad B, you are a genius!). The groundschool portion of OAA's groundschool is also very good. However the overall operation/scheduling/aircraft condition in the US is pretty dire.
Rest assured the skills learned will put you in good stead for the rest of your career, but OAA must stop resting on their laurels as far as the US operation is concerned, or the likes of the Netjets 'incident' will happen with other airlines also.
