Hi EI-Shamrock,

I'm heading out this Friday (August 4th) with 5 other guys to begin our training over in Canada through PRI. 3 others have already gone out a month ago and sent us emails, with quite positive feedback so far, which is good

I've talked to some of the school on the phone, and a few via email, and they're all really nice people to deal with. Very accomodating and nice. The whole price includes everything too. Meals, accomodation, cleaning (!!), 2 return flights, and all educational stuff needed incl headset. I like the sound of it, looked into it, had my uncle who's a flight school inspector in Canada look into it, and all came back positive. Plus there's a college down in Cork that handles JAA conversions based specifically on this course (the guy running it did the PRI course, from what I've read).

Try the "Training In Canada" thread in this forum, more of it was covered there. There are a few others here going out as well, I'm sure they'll post.

Oh and once out there I intend to keep a weekly diary or so, hopefully with some video footage once I get out and buy a camera there, to help people deciding if they want to come in future and kinda track my pilot career in a corny cheesy way >_< I'll put a link up to that once it's going here for all you guys who keep wondering and asking questions, hopefully it'll help.
