My five cents worth.
I trained at massey in the mid 90's and found the flight training to be at a high skill level. I had one of the better instructors right the way through which made all the difference, also having the right attitude as well. A number on my course weren't that interested in flying. I came to Massey for the degree and meet a couple of the last guys who went to fly the B737 for the o/s training contract. Very lucky, but also part of the reason why they stopped taking massey pilots also, another story.
One thing lacking at Massey is commercial (actual) training. As soon as the wind got up to 15-20kts that was it and if rain was anywhere in the vicinity then that was the day as well. A bit of a shock when you land your first job flying single engine vfr and learn on the line flying in crappy vfr conditions.
Marshall what ever you decide have the right attitude and you will get out of it want you want....
All good fun...
Another thing of interest is Massey lining up a bandit?? Just a rumour I heard today?
