DCarroll - when did you go there? I was there in Feb/Mar. Agree with you 100% The place is like a sausage factory. However, it is cheap. Not sure if it failed to meet my expectations as they were not high to start with.
As for going back there for CPL etc. I think I'll look elsewhere cos the focus is on PPL's and the attention to detail required for CPL students just ain't enough from what I've heard.
What with the forthcoming changes to visas and the changes and expectations re licencing in Europe, I think OBA will have a difficult future other than for hour building.
