Instructors very rarely came from OAT and the like in the first place. I can think of 3 in the last 6 years I have met. One was good and is a ppruner who posts occasionally and the other 2 left alot to be desired.

And most if not all instructors at these schools are modular trained. Makes you wonder if the product is that great why don't you get the product back to teach the next course. The RAF do it with there Creamy Instructors.

And as for dartagnan comments. Well actually there are a fair few people get through training without borrowing a single penny. How you may ask?

Actually its dead easy.... you get off your arse and go and earn it. There are loads of plumbers,builders, sparkys you name it profession wise someone will know someone who used to do that.

The english thing will sort itself out in a few years. Most youngsters worldwide now are getting very good at English thanks to the internet and the knowledge that English is a way to improve there lives. Give it another five years and they will be up to cloggy levels of English

Muslims can train in america but other factors relating to european rules may limit JAR training over there.

And as for a shortage of Pilots!!! never will happen in the wannabie stage of experence There is actually a shortage of pilots now in the turboprop LHS in various types. But that really doesn't help your 200 hour fresh cpl/IR holder
