Thankyou lownslow.

Doesn't really help the UK's flying prospects if people do disappear to the US to do all their training and hours building. In fact it only compounds the problem.

Remember when you were at school and nobody supported the local 3rd division football team? Everyone would support Liverpool because they were the best (even though they were 300 miles away). Same principle. Thats the problem here, we havent got a chance if our clubs just cannot afford to provide US services at UK costs.

Each time a club closes down (which I fear may start happening more and more) ask yourself if the money you saved training in the US was that well spent now you dont have anywhere to fly from.

Yes, this post is genuine and yes I do feel strongly about this subject.

Any club owners out there to comment?
