Just back from EASA.
Great experience. Got done in minimum time with minimum fuss.
Those so called nasty characters I kept reading about, personally helped me get finished.
I felt most the staff there did what they could to help me through.
Talking to students.. most complaints were people trying to get a PPL in 3 weeks.. and if they were less than up to scratch blaming the school.
Get real.. some will get done in minimum time, others will need longer.. law of averages.
I personally KNEW I needed more time, as I had not flown for a while.
I was never pressured into more flying, and never asked to pay up front. Only asked that my account stay in credit.
Thanks to everyone there at EASA.. and will def. return for some more flying.
