I'm somewhat of a rarity in that I finished my MCC in November 2008 and final VFR/Aero flights in February 2009 yet managed to be amongst the last into NetJets.
I VERY rarely find the time to come back online to this site as it tends to get very dull seeing the same questions / arguments ad nauseam.
Also, in my current company, no more than 10% of the flight crew are active on the crew forum let alone this poisonous place.
So it is not necessarily indicative of the lack of success of OAA students compare to the other FTO's. But saying that, there is no way on earth I would start training now or in the next 12 months. But everyone's decision is based on their own personal set of circumstances and at 31, mine make me particularly risk-averse.
Saying that, I am very happy being paid to be in Ibiza and it looks like we are on standby tomorrow so it's a tough life
PS - note-to-self, don't post on PPrune after a trip to the bar with your TRI, you generally regret it later ....
