Solutions to getting flying ?

Do you just fly part time or have you done a full time training program ?

I keep seeing there is a vanishing number of students and schools are having to cut back having to many instructors with the down turn but I am still finding trying to get training like trying to stop the tide coming in !.

Anyone else having the same problems or found any schools that cater for intense full time training ?

Ok some of it is weather but I'm in between jobs at the moment and want to get my IMC and night rating before i have to go back to the grind.
I book multiple slots per week and available on stand by all the rest.
Started my IMC over 3 months ago now but not even half way in yet.

If it's not weather its instructor, or plane or flying school, on to my second school, 4th Instructor.

I went over to Jerez to finish my PPL for the same reason starting to look like I'm going to have to do the same again
Instructors I seem to find turn there noses up at going abroad to finish or do ppl training but tbo it was near the same price as uk, but I got good weather for 30 days solid and an guarantee that I can fly 2 or 3 times a day. No big gaps where you forget what you did 2 weeks ago.
