Thank you Ayla and Mike for your comments. Yes, I believe Ayla Aviation Academy offers value for money, and i invite you to come visit us to see for yourselves. However, as i stated earlier, i prefer to avoid subjective dicussions about "value for money" or comparing "apples & pears" because these are personal opinions.
My advice remains the same as before - anyone interested in a career in aviation should do his/her homework first. PPRUNE is a rumours network, and may be misused by people with an axe to grind, so I encourage people to widen their scope and rely on themselves to make the right choice.
At Ayla, we have open days every week, and people are welcome to visit us, talk to our instrcutors, staff and cadets. Atlantic Flight Training in the UK is also owned by the same group, and it offers a JAA license, as well as MCC and JOT courses.
I remain happy to address any other factual questions.
