I did my BCPL - CPL/IR approved upgrade at OATS Modular this time last year.
WWW is right, being put to the back for sponsored cadets is nothing new, I had to wait for two weeks whilst a bunch of BA cadets finished their courses, in the meantime, no other planes were available. Blydi frustrating it was.
The instructors were top notch, I enjoyed my time and still got finished with three months.
I still think it's a shame they closed the Glos base.
