Hmm, ok so the early advice seems to be to stick it out.
S.A.S, you say: "make sure you do the weekends and lots of trial lessons". But as I said, I was asked not to bother going in on Sunday because there was no work for me.
The school, since you ask, S.A.S, is FlyTeam. They prefer to get their students to fly with all of the instructors, rather than assign one instructor to each student.... at least that's what they tell me. In practice, it seems that students can be assigned to any instructor except me! I have to admit that I'm not convinced that flying with many instructors is such a good idea, though, even if it did work that way.... as you say, students tend to be loyal to their instructors - I know I always have been, as have most others I've spoken to.
Thanks for the input, Obs and S.A.S - I will take your comments on board. I hope you are correct, and that my work will pick up - because I can't afford to live on £6 a week!
Anyone else got any thoughts?
