Jugs08, "Cabair are around 300-500; whilst they wait for their big Jet job". This stuff is good, where do you get such rubbish from??? Is that what TPC told you to get you to sign up?
And as for doing your PPL with them for 7K! Good luck!!! They may advertise themselves as cheap, but cheap often doesn't buy you the best training.
I also know of students who have left TPC having been mucked around with 5 or 6 different instructors or who have flown in wholey inappropriate weather conditions just to get the planes making some £££. So you get what you pay for (in a shabby C152)... ... All these things will increase your costs, so before you know it you'll probably spend £10k anyway!
Once again, there's the other side of the coin.
