pull your head out of your ass and go see what the facility is all about
Thanks for the wonderful piece of advice but we have our wires crossed slightly. You are referring to FSI Jhb specifically, which I agree is the topic of this thread whilst I am talking about FS INTERNATIONAL - the company as a whole.
My information IS directly from my frequent dealings with FSI. Compared to the other companies in Europe, FSI is very expensive and in our case a lot more expensive than operating our own aircraft. We cannot use our own instructors at FSI and the training standards are good but so are the other service providers in Europe.
