OFT was just an example there are many schools in the USA with different reputations - I trained elswhere in the USA and had a first class experience. In fact it was better than the training in Scotland!
However, the basic point of my fact-finding is that there is a massice variation in costs within Scotland which people should be aware of when chosing a flying school.
Clearly there are other issues, quality etc which need to be considered. However, £3,400 difference is a huge difference for many people and may be the difference between being able to undertale training and not.
