Just a few points I wish to raise with you………

“All in all I thought the place was OK but I was a little disappointed with some of the facilities and the aircraft, and the lads seemed a little dejected which made me think it wasn't really worth the money.”


I’m just curious to why you feel this? I personally felt that the facilities were excellent, or is it that you’re used to living in extreme luxury? The aircraft, exactly the same at any other flight school!

The lads seemed a little dejected?
Well everyone we spoke to was friendly and chatty not one person mentioned any fault or dislike about the college!!
Is anyone in Jerez dejected?

“The amount of bullskit they gave me about jobs and stuff just sounded like a load of marketing rubbish, like Oxford, so I’m not too bothered”

Too be honest most flight schools will give you slightly ‘juiced up’ news on the current and future job scene, however the marketing department, Michael Wallis included, gave honest information based on actual printed/released information from recognised sources. Such information that an individual with brains can easily find out, by simply putting some time and effort into searching the internet and reading flight/aviation orientated publications.

And if you are not bothered to do that…… well good, I hope that someone prepared to put effort into achieving their dream, gets a job over you any day!

So for your other quote of:

“Also, I know for a fact that airlines don't have any preference for integrated graduates so don't let them fool you with that”

hmmm.. BA, Britannia, etc (just to name a few)

and then finally…

“and don't listen to any un-researched, naive comments such as the one made by a certain edible poster earlier on in this thread”

Would you be so kind as to mention who this person might be?

Regards



GRANTS: sorry to hear about the eye problem, wish you all the best on Monday. I've got my medical tomorrow, so i'm hoping for no problems!!!
