As a non flyer reading though this post I belive that there is an interesting split based on those who use the phrase 'Flying School' and those who use 'Flying Club'.
The 'Schoolies' seem less satisfied with life than the 'Clubbers' and perhaps this is because a club is generally more vibrant and a place to go to chat and relax, whereas a school is for the achieving of an exam only.
So the choice is out there for you.
