G-SIXTY - cheers mate.

benhurr - If you mean Vages96, then I certainly wouldn't! The double standards of some students were appalling, if in doubt - point the finger at someone else to take away the attention from yourself seemed to be the order of the day.

The pecentage of students who actually liked Jerez when I was there would be about 3%. The other 97% dreamt of escaping. Easily the worst five months of my life before I had the good sense to jump ship and go modular. The management were abysmal, the heads of training were stuck in their 1970's military days and we were all taken as mugs. If I wanted to be screwed I'd have pulled my panties down!

This was a coupla years back now so I must add that I have no idea what the place is like now under new ownership. It could not be much worse that's for sure so we'll assume it's good there now.

I could say a helluva lot more about that place but the age old aviation tradition of keeping your thoughts to yourself in a bad situation is what stops me. I saw guys nearly lose their sanity in that place. I saw guys financially scarred for life by the Stalinist management raping them and then throwing them out without one hour in an aircraft.

My eyes gazed upon things you couldn't even imagine, neon storms at the airstrips of Sales Marsh...... err..... sorry... I'm quoting from Bladerunner now.
