That is crap CRM 87.
I know plenty of guys who I graduated with at OAA who have jobs, even jobs way out in the bush where only your so called properly trained pilots fly given the tender hands of these 'experienced' instructors.
Sure there are people who look down on the training facilities like that and so people should for certain reasons, especially cost of training. However they are one company that are putting up the money and paying instructors a lot better than anywhere else and giving GrIII's a go.
I have been working as a flight instructor/charter pilot for another company after training at OAA and realise that there are different ways to do things and at the moment cannot see the benefits of either one. Time will tell.
I say think of any training school as a used car sales man. Try get what you want out of them.
