Hi EGKB,
Fantastic, your now moaning about the hourly rate...
Have you considered an excellent school in Greece, they even offer accomodation. PPL 46 hours for 4300 euros, they have an understanding of strong minded students (Naaz) I'm certain you will be able to educate them to your ways of doing things!!
The flying in a C152 works out at £75 per hour wet, they even offer accomodation for 600 Euro's for the whole course.
