Paddy - 22 instructors have been layed off by OATS since 911. Many of them part timers.
The company that owns OATS - it is rumoured - have asked for the flying operation to make money by the Autumn. A not unreasonable requirement AND ONE THAT I would imagine they will achieve.
They have lots of students, no fat and a busy summer training schedule ahead of them.
I am intolerant of people idly posting about OATS demise.
Its fair enough to put down here rumours and speculation that actually is prevelant in the industry. Mindless OATS bashing is not.
