There would appear to be a few folks appearing out of the wood work...

How about this from the CFI (direct quote no edits)

"Firstly, a little about Flight Training Europe at Jerez, we are not like the flying schools that you have worked for before but are an Approved Flight Training Organisation. We do not train private pilots but commercial airline pilots. As such the level of instruction is significantly higher than most flying schools. The flight instruction includes training for the CPL and IR Skill Tests on an integrated course. The single engine training covers most
of the contents of these tests. We currently employ 18 flight instructors; their accumulative flight time is well over one million flying hours, the average flight time per instructor being approximately 6000 hours; the average flight instruction time is approaching 4000 per instructor."

This was written to a potential flight instructor. Arrogant? You decide. Mathematical ability? work it out for yourself.

92000 Euros?

Like VFE, I have no axe to grind. Like VFE I was there a couple of years ago. Ownership might have changed, management might have changed but I guess the general arrogant attitude hasn't.

I might add that I have only posted this as VFE was brave enough to stick his head above the parapet - guess it is about time that others did too!

Happy Christmas.
