A few months ago I emailed the group about the possibility of a trial flight. At the time Neil, you suggested that joining as a 'social member' for £250 would be the way forward, and splitting the cost of a trip because (from your email to me):
once joined you only pay for half the fuel on a flight which is circa £350.
Perhaps it's poor phrasing, and I'm mistaken; to me though that read as if the cost of the trip to me would be £350 (which tallies with UA's figure for today's fuel useage + landing fees).
I'm assuming the Lakes sortie mentioned was £200 per pilot for fuel + £42 landing fee (£442). Even so, I'm not sure how my side for an hour would have been £350?
I'm only now nearing the end of my PPL, but in a year or two hope to be looking around for a share in a JP. Newcastle is my closest at the moment, but the difference between the figures quoted on the website, to me, and on here, make me feel a little uneasy.
Feel free to "quote me happy" always happy to admit I've made a mistake.
