WC you sound as though your student experience was far from expectation, which is a shame as it sounds like you're a passionate pilot. At some point in time though, you need to take some responsibility for how your training progessed - if you had had 5 instructors before GFPT then why didn't you speak up? Why did you not seek to address it? I don't know what line of employment you're in, but in the business world, if something isn't working you take steps to address it. How long would you hang on to something that is unsuccesssful? Clearly you walked away, but had you spoken up sooner perhaps the issues could have been resolved and your training may have taken on a different trajectory. You then wouldn't feel bitter and twisted about that phase of your training.
Innuendo and rumour surround the both the Club and the committee (and as members don't have access to the balance sheet it will always just be rumour), only time will tell if they seek to address the issues with wholehearted gusto. Perhaps grumpy members (and past members) are only hearing what they want to hear - and can't get out of their own negative mindset. Nothing will change unless people change it! That includes, members, staff, management and committee
