Hi QDMQDM...,
I just discovered your post about Megeve and I can tell you that I fully understand! They will not hear from me any more.
JetSet people are most welcome, they will even obtain their ratings in record time, even if it's the first time they see a mountain! But if you are not one of them, they just don't give a damn about you. Better be a (paying) tourist than a student mountain pilot with them.
So, on my opinion, their organisation is not even a typical French club setup, but more of private club, mainly focused on tourist flights and Ski Ressort attraction.
And believe me, their safety is not so good at all. Reminds me more of the Top Gun "we are the best" behaviour - unjustyfied!
Fly carefully,
Sunday Bird - one more dissapointed
