I think the point here, is that TheBeak went into the OAA course, and things haven't worked out as planned - this doesn't mean things won't in the future. TheBeak, some years later is now telling people not to make the mistakes he made, or at least, understand what you are doing when signing up for OAA/CTC/Cabair etc...
I don't disagree that TheBeaks comments can sometimes come across as repetitive and negative, but really, credibility on an internet forum? Does it exist?
However, there is nothing wrong in repeatedly telling people not to self fund type ratings and line training !
Now, maybe back to the thread anyone?
