I hope I can dispel an impression Jon's post might give to some people new to flying (I believe unintentionally, Jon, I am not criticising you!). There is, in my experience, very little bashing of other schools in the industry. In general, with one or two exceptions, it is a very close industry with friendly rivalry and little hostile competition. It has to be so, as students change from one school to another for different modules and for various reasons. Of course each of us still thinks we're the best, we just accept that the others have the mistaken impression they are!
