You ask three students their views of the same flight school and you get three different replies - good, bad or indifferent!.
Loved the quote from paco - "students stiff the companies for several thousand pounds" There is a god! Lost count of how many pilots, fixed and rotary that have been "stiffed" by a flight school.
MartinCh - "position to contemplate where to do a Jaa IR{H}" This is not through choice. I would much rather be taken on by an operator who would be prepared to sponsor me {pay for IR on a bond}, than have to self fund {go into large debt!} and pay for it myself. As I can't find a company to sponsor me, I have to self fund {large Debt} to get the ticket, so choice of flight school is critical to avoid being "stiffed".
Appreciate the comments from Flingingwings {PM}, if you don't work for that flight school you certainly must have shares in it!
