Be careful who you recommend. Everyone seems to have different experiences everywhere. I am aware of a number of students who have been very unhappy in NFC and who have successfully gone to cork or waterford and vice versa.
flybearann comments are nothing new and can be applied to nearly all flight schools anywhere.
And I sure with the way you are writing that you were the model student and passed everything first time and this rant is not just a cover up for your own failings/ shortcomings as regularly happens on this website.
Although I am sure alot of what you say is true to some degree, again as it is in all other schools.
This job is not for everyone and some are just not suited to it. It is easier to find out in other careers as you don't have to pay thousands to find your mistake.
Thats life!
