What students do that annoy OTHER STUDENTS
I need to agree to a certain extent with Duchess Driver.
With margins so tight, it is essential for a flying school to run efficiently in order to provide good value AND stay in business.
While the points made are detrimental to the income of the school and instructors, it also affects the other students.
Taking into account the cancellations due to weather I cannot see a logical explanation how any school can effectively operate without running efficiently.
I recall a very productive discussion with a former student:-
"If the school does not need to fly as much as possible to ensure the costs are met, there are obviously savings to be made by running an efficient school and trying to fly as much as possible. Therefore, it is obviously possible to offer 'better value' to current students and members".
I think this was a good point!
