GA Instructor
I couldn't agree with you more. I trained in a single instructor operation away from the city, spent 4 hours driving each way for my lessons!! in comparison to the city schools, well there just isn't one. As you say, a number, they pass you on the street as if you were a complete stranger. Not to mention the time you spend in the air is 98% of your lesson, not 60% as in BK. The learning environment is critical and I think the smaller operators that take care of their students are more effective. I know for a fact that hour for hour you get twice as much out of a small country school than a major city one. And probably pay less for it...
