To get the discounted rate, you need to pay 10 hours at a time. Theres a fair old difference between their deal of buying 10 at a time at £90/h, and the standard "pay as you fly" at £129/h. Personally, I'm happy to take the chance. I fly about 8 hours a month anyway, so its not like it's sitting in their pockets for 6 months or something.
What kind of hour building deals have you guys come across? What are your home clubs deals?
I'm doing my PPL with the school offering this hour building package, and I have to say I really like the school. Just seems to me that for £9,000 of flying and the liklihood of getting a CPL course from you as well, they seem to be treating you as a second rate customer. I would say easily 3/4 of flights at my school are gift vouchers and PPL lessons. To put them first in front of someone who wants to seriously go places and go through all the training to ATPL, seems very unfair.
