Why do it if it's not fun?

New Flying Schools

There are lots of reasons for choosing a flying school - but, in my experience, the school's reputation is perhaps one of the most important, particularly at ME/CPL/IR level.

What I'm interested in, then, is what it is that makes people choose to go to a brand new flying school which doesn't yet have a reputation. Although not very many, there are a couple of new schools that have begun offering CPL/IR training in the UK in the last few years - were you one of the first handful of students at a new school? Or did you consider one of these schools but then change your mind?

Or, to turn the question around - what would a new school, which doesn't yet have a reputation to trade on, have to do to get your business?

I'd be interested to hear any thoughts or experiences!
