Thing is though, I've known the writing has been on the wall for Cabair for 3 years and it really has - not on the basis of what I've heard here but the same thoughts have been echoed here by people who, as you will come to find, may well be 'keyboard warriors' but are also experienced airline pilots, engineers and instructors. One of the the problems with many pilots is they feel the need to be "right" all the time and it's often very black and white for them. The rightness of anything is always dependent on the situation.

I wouldn't say that your assessment of the training situation was wrong, I wouldn't have been shocked if the quality of training is fine - it usually is at most flying schools in the UK. But your understanding of the financial situation was flawed and your need to be right about how good the training was may well have blinded you to that very fact. What you need to do now is decide whether you want to keep on training, if you do then fine but remember the following.

The Internet is indelible and it's most definitely not anonymous. The flying industry is extremely small. You would not believe the number of "important" pilots that read and post on this very forum so before you post anything, have the good sense to temper it with a little humility. You may get found out and at the moment you're not coming across well at all.
