No axe to grind ref the modern Tayside. Of course they will have good instructors. My honest appraisal was they took me for considerable amounts of money while one of their instructors b1tched about me behind my back and in front of my son. For no good reason just a misguided perception. Slag me off no problem but upset my son and you will get a ‘come outside’ moment. Hence the tense conversation with the cfi resulting in an apology to me. However of course you are right, do not base a decision on pprune. But it should be understood that the current ACS is not the same as its predecessor: it is a modern ATO with CPL / IR training etc. It’s not a case of partisanship.
