BA wants you money. Just like all other flight school I guess, but smaller flight schools do not have the chance of abusing their position of being the biggest heli-school branded with the Bristow trademark.

For me, I got through it all, and I was able to secure employment while doing the CPL, promising to finish real soon. Real soon became sooner or later, and sooner or later became later. In the end I felt that was a personal embarrassment, not to mention the obvious jealousy among instructors and other students.

Oh, and in the end I was approached by one guy higher up who wanted me as a "success story" on their web page. I declined at that point as I was pretty irritated on how they were running things.
