Not entirely sure why everyone moans so much about the crosswinds up there. I was landing 152's with 20kt across the runway during my PPL and found it a very useful learning experience.
I flew with a guy recently who learnt at Sherburn. Nowt wrong with that, but he'd never had to deal with crosswinds due to their having loads of runways. When he had to stick it down into a short grass strip with 15kts on the end of the wing the guy was terrified. Fortunately Cpt. Shunter was there to give him a hand
A lot seem to do well getting jobs after MF. I guess it's no better or worse than anywhere else in that respect. Most of it's good up there, nice facilities, sim, decent cafe, AME/RT/IR examiners on site etc.. All the CPL/IR instructors know their stuff, and the best guys from LFS seem to have joined the ranks aswell since Cloud9 buried them.
There's a couple of faces that could use a prescription of happy pills, but then I suppose that's par for the course.
