Stevesmyname - please don't put out rumours which have no foundation in fact. It is a very irresponsible thing to do, and potentially damaging to a highly reputable company.
In a recent question on just this point on Oxford's own website, the @SK OXFORD forums, OAT's Managing Director made the following reply:
"Thank you very much for asking the question directly rather than relying on the rumour network.
I can assure you categorically that Oxford Aviation Training is neither in financial difficulty nor about to go into liquidation.
Although you don't state whether you are undergoing either FAA or JAA training, I am sure you will be aware of the investments that we are making within our training centres towards the future development of our courses and overall the benefit of our customers.
I do wish that your 'trustworthy' source (sic!) would not make this sort of comment; albeit I am sure no damage was intended.
If you would like to contact me directly, please contact me at the Oxford centre and I will be pleased to answer any further questions that you may have.
Anthony Petteford
Managing Director
Oxford Aviation Training"
Not too much room for doubt there.
