Don't go to OBA/EASA for any kind of training!!

I know, this is not really new and there have been many threads around dealing with OBA/EASA and the way how things go there - but yes, I also have been blinded by the advertised low costs.
It is definitely NO place where you want to learn flying or do any kind of flight training. Teaching methods are poor and there is NO interest of getting you (fast) through their courses. You end up flying and flying. Airplanes are in a sad condition (except some repainted) and from what I saw, the ME airplane (PA44) seems to be right from the junkyard. Nothing you want to fly with or even sit in.
If anyone is still considering flight training at this FTO and is in any doupt - get in contact with me.
I will also get in contact with the UK CAA about this FTO, their methods and the condition of their planes. I hope, they close them down soon anyway.
Regards from my side (i know OBA, you are reading this)
