HI PRIMROSE,
CONGRATS ON YOUR ATPL'S. I WAS IN THE STATES DURING THE SUMMER AND I CALLED IN TO COMAIR FOR A LOOK. IT'S AN IMPRESSIVE SETUP THEY HAVE THERE IN SANFORD. FACILITIES ARE GOOD, THEY WOULD HAVE IT SUSSED ON THE FAA SIDE OF THINGS. IN REGARDS TO JAA TRAINING IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN AS THEY ARE NEW IN THE GAME. I WILL SAY THEY DO HAVE THE FINANCE BEHIND IT. ALTHOUGH SO DID PAN-AM IN FORT PEARCE WHO DECIDED THAT THE CAA WERE AN EXPENSIVE LOT TO DEAL WITH AND FINISHED THEIR JAA TRAINING.
I SPOKE TO THEIR DIRECTOR OF TRAINING PAT MURPHY WHO GAVE ME A GOOD RUN DOWN ON THEIR PLANS, THEIR CFI IS AN ENGLISHMAN CALLED PIERS SMERDON, TRY GET A HOLD OF HIM AND CHECK OUT YOUR OPTIONS.
I WOULD SUGGEST GIVEN I.F.T.A IN STUART FLORIDA A CALL. I HAVE DONE QUITE A BIT OF TRAINING THERE. TOP CLASS INSTRUCTING. THERE ARE TWO GUYS FROM THE NORTH OF IRELAND ON STAFF WHO MAKE PASSING A CPL OR AN IR A LOT EASIER.
GOOD LOOK,
IRISHWINGS.
