Flight Acadamy Scotland
Firstly this is NOT a dig at FAS, but some information.
Recent news article in Daily Mail details how FAS set up a bogus Official Cumbernauld Airfield Web Page and following some testing, gave their own school 10/10 and the other schools 2/10. FAS was forced to admit that the web-site was theirs and NOT Cumbernauld's. Some physical stuff between other school owners too I've heard.
FAS has bought Inverness Flying School - no aircraft or instructors, although they do advertise rotary wing training. Not being a whirly bird myself, I don't know if they have helo's or instructors at Inverness.
Trying to buy Aberdeen Flying School - their web site states they have already bought it, but a friend of mine went into the school recently and asked for one of their £75 gift vouchers - Aberdeen didn't know anything about it!
That's what I understand - but lets not take my word for it, and ask FAS to comment themselves..... If anyone from FAS manages to read this, and in order to provide a balanced discussion, please feel free to contribute to this thread.
