Nope. Nowhere near the M25 in fact! (though I know the one you mean)
I'd like to believe that things would be better in an airline but it is beggining to dawn on me that it will be little differnet! In that case I'll just have to get on with it, after all this is my passion and dream and I still love the flying. (Not to mention the dosh its cost me)
Just to put my original post into perspective, it must have been a particularly bad week. Normally its not so bad, and I can control the daily schedule if I try hard enough, and allow room for a break and briefings. It is very satisfying when you successfully teach someone somthing completely new like stalling or landing or nav!
The Otter's Pocket: I too look back at my PPL training in dismay. I got my PPL (shan't say where) many years ago without really understanding how to land properly!!
