looking at the sortie board and if we're to follow the new courses (by 8's), you ought to be happy if you're from the first batches of 8 and done with the 70 hours of core flying plus IFR... that way, your training moves forward and you're a few steps closer to the A320 sim. great news indeed.
but what about us with barely 25 hours of flying, still waiting on fully compliant for IFR C172's (we know that CA's been working on 2 C172's already parked at RPLC main and no one after batch 4 will use OMNI's planes), waiting for the sky to clear everyday, and expecting MW's ground school when we come back from a break that we're not even sure when it starts?
given the rainy season, is 50 hours of flying (including IFR) possible in less than 2 months for 8 students using 4 Alpha Trainers (+ 2 C172's) with 5 (or 8) instructors? if so, the plan is fool-proof and a month-off per 8 cadets is justifiable for everyone else waiting to advance. it's a bit disappointing that batches 5, 6, & 7 are pretty much even with flying time, now that a bulk of 6 and everyone in 7 ran into insurance issues and need to fly 25 hours dual before flying solo.
