Weete - I was never a student at Jerez, I was a flying instructor.

Folks - the truth is there is very very little to choose between the 3 Integrated schools. All are accused of being arrogant, of being disorganised and of treating students like numbers on a board. Variously each will be said to have some brilliant instructors and some rubbish ones.

There are always satisfied and diss-satisfied customers, some look back in anger and other don rose tinted specs.

The fact is that all the Integrated schools have rapidly gone downhill since the days of CAP509. In those days standards were higher, instructors more experienced and better paid.

These days - and until many airlines are clamouring for cadets on an ad hoc basis - I recommend Modular. 4 instructors 5 aircraft 1 Sim and 10 students is about the ideal set up in my opinion. There are plenty of schools up and down the land like this. It just takes a bit of effort to get past the marketing one encounters as a Wannabe.

Cheers
