I dont find it unfair at all, I have made many friends from flight training who were all at some point at OFT and are now flying the skys along side me in the airlines over here in europe and all have the same opinion of OFT!
I am yet to meet someone in the airlines that says there a good school! met people at PPL level that have yes, but I think lack of knowlage of the industry clouds judgement a little.
I still maintain an interest in flight training as a current FAA CFI and hence posting on this forum as well as the airline ones.
you can do a hell of a lot better than OFT! sadly not sure where for JAA?
