Who knows, or cares, what you've heard?
Like you, the OBA/USA haters have been predicting the demise of CAA/JAA training there for 20 years but, in fact, it's only got bigger with others joining the bandwagon and Cabair & co attempting to copy but shafting with surcharges.
Plenty of others have come and gone in the UK and USA but OBA has proved its staying power and popularity. You can bet that OBA is ahead of the latest game because, whatever you think about OBA, the owner is no-one's fool.
OBA has never claimed to be the place for poseurs and precious brats so, if you want your ego massaged, go elsewhere. If you want your licence or rating at lowest cost, OBA is the place so I have always been mystified by complaints about 'sausage factory' (=their predictably efficient methods) and 'penalties' (=sanctions on idiots for their lack of commitment, non-compliance etc.). Otherwise, it would be you (the serious clients) who would have to pay a lot more for what you want.
