My thoughts on this:
q1) 2
q2) 3, somewhere to sit and have a coffee maybe but not fussed as long as I can fly.
q3) 2
q4) 2, Newcastle is more convenient for me, extra travelling costs and time would probably be more than the current landing fees anyway, plus I accept (although would rather not have to) we have to pay for the facilities a big airport offers.
q5) 1,as above really, however always have the option to fly to carlisle for instance to practice circuits there.
q6) 1, Don't mind paying a little extra for a professionally run outfit, we might not be in this position now if the club had been run as a commercial concern.
q7) I am going for my atpl's in the new year and would consider training at newcastle if the option was available.
