Hello "thelowflyer".
I finished training with L3 last year and the delays are pouring. Furthermore with the state of Flybe nowadays I woulnd`t recommend no one to start an MPL Training with them/L3.
What I advise you is to go to spain/italy and see some schools that are getting their students trained really fast. Just as an example I had over 30 colleagues that changed school and finished faster than me whilst their training cost was half of what we were paying. This is just my 2 cents but your next moves will be delicate and important. Choose wisely.
