Hi Dobo
I am also one of the "famous five" if thats what you wanna call us! The negativity that was put on flying in ireland, if you read, was by a small number of people who have hardly any flying experience. Read carefully and you will see its the same few people who place threads and they really don't know what they are talking about. Our ground instructors here are all ex South African Air Force. The 3 that we have are all retired colonels. Where else would you get that experience? The school is extremly professional and have done everything and more for us here. South African Airways currently have cadets here and British Airways Comair have trained cadets here. Do some research on the two airlines and you will see that they rank up there with any European airline. I have been here 6 weeks now and have found everything about this school excellent and have absolutly no complaints. If you need anymore info PM me, I would be happy to talk on the phone etc. about any questions you haveor anyone else out there.
