EC-DKN: People go to CTC because it's a proven way into the RHS of an airliner. I'm not quite sure why you are so bitter about people who choose to go down that route? The highs and lows have been well documented and at the end of the day it is a personal decision, if it doesn't suit you that is fine. Having said that PAT is an excellent place, through my limited experience with them I hold it in very high regard. Just don't upset the dog on the way in
Pug: I'm aware of a few OAA grads who were given the nod by EJ a month or two ago, not sure of numbers taken overall though I'm afraid. I'm also unsure of the cost and TR arrangements with OAA.
