Your earlier comment:

I hope your comments about the pilot training industry in the UK are based on something more statistically significant than one? Have you a lot of anecdotal evidence or first-hand experience of lots of instructors?
While I have little sympathy for an fATPL or IR holder and/or flying instructor
Licence Type (eg CPL. Pilots only):
Frozen ATPL
Current a/c Type (eg B737. Pilots only):
PA28
Location:
Southern England
Occupation:
Flying Instructor
