i have done a bit of research on OAA because i want to go there in a couple of years aswell. Although they are asking for an unholy amount of money, it does pay off in the long run because OAA is the only training company that provides post training employment scheme with british airways, in other words they will arrange for you to have an interview. Also OAA is looked upon as the Best flight school in the world. so airlines will be impressed you trained at OAA - you pay for the name as well as the training. Airlines would rather take on a newby from OAA than one who trained at a lower quality flight school given the choice between the two.
