Not at all, I have heard of some very hefty fuel surcharges which are well above the increase that has been seen in fuel prices, schools are taking advantage. Schools without an FNPTII are going to loose out here because thats the one piece of equipment which guards against an increase in fuel!
I'm now trying to makesure that I do my IR first, before my CPL at a school with an FNPTII, doing 40 hours of the IR this way should reduce the pressure of increased fuel prices.
