As far as I am aware OAA are planning to increase their course costs by approx 3000stg for 2009 so I imagine they feel they won't have a problem attracting new applicants.
I had been planning to go there myself and have the full funds to do so after saving hard for the past few years but now I'm thinking in the current climate that I should go modular and have enough left over for a type rating if I need one and maybe a nice big holiday at the end of it
