Haven't logged in here for a long time - too busy flying :-)
I must say, people do like to make a meal of these topics don't they...?
Anyway, just to add my quota, I passed my JAR PPL at Naples. The atmosphere was always great and everyone was totally professional. Just like every other organisation they are in business to make money but .....
I am a professional myself and know the difference between a cowboy outfit - of which I have seen a few - and a well-run organisation with a good degree of staff satisfaction - as well as students.
By the nature of this thread, it seams to me that a good measure would be something statistical, student pass rate, etc and a proper comparison. I mean, you are not going to get a good pass rate if the instructors are all working themselves into the ground, etc. Any figures....?
Keep up the good work Nikki
