HoverBover,
At the moment I'm hours building and doing the CPL(H) ground exams. I can't do the CPL modular flying course until I have a minimum of 155 hours (got about 130 now), and passed the ground exams.
What's the norm? I wish I knew. I recently changed to a different school, as there were a few things I wasn't happy with. Since I changed, I've discovered more things I shouldn't have been happy with. I suspect that to some extent I wasn't taken seriously, possibly because I'm female. But I can't be sure, and I can't be sure that's the reason. To be fair, I dithered about whether I was really going commercial - and didn't take it that seriously myself until I realised I'd just passed most of the nav exams (I think I probably failed Radio Aids for the second time yesterday though
) So maybe it's no-one's fault, and maybe I wasn't short-changed; I just don't know. What I do know it that I'm becoming a lot more wary, and less inclined to trust people just because they have a good reputation and thousands of hours. Is that good or bad?
