Gooneybird, like I said, maybe the British students were the most unhappy ones in general due to the fact that they dealt with a agent and not because they were British. I agree that the three week PPL is a myth and wish that Gerald would stop using it in his literature. Personally, I have flown with only two students in my instruction career that were capable of achieving such a feat. I also think that Gerald should use a manager though I hate seeing a avaition company run by a bean counter.He had a student acting as a mananger for a while(what ever happened to Ed?)
I still stand by what I said about paying everything upfront even if your are South African and even more so if your foreign. A CPL can be broken down into many pieces. Do whatever you can to reduce the risk your are taking.
