Howzit,
The flight school I'm flying with, I'm pretty sure has a good reputation, having trained tonnes of students of the years. One of the instructors there is a training captain at SAA and we are pretty friendly with him, so that does help, I suppose.
The reason I'm not doing my license in the UK is that I'm only 15 years old and don't have the luxury of choice at the moment.
Cheers.
