Sevenstroke & Dan, thanks for the helpful and detailed replies.
Yes, i was aware nothing is guaranteed in this game apart from the cost - "millionaires from the ranks of multimillionaires'' etc.
Having done my solo at Perth, i have a soft spot for it - everyone very friendly there that's for sure. I recently completed my PPL in ABZ, a very positive experience. Had some very crap weather and some spectacularly clear days. Scottish countryside also very nice to look at.
I did assume though that if you did an FI at a school, they may be inclined to help with finding that first job instructing.. i guess it comes down to networking!
Why not in scotland? just the shortage of choice?
Cheers
Richard
Positive attitude with the exams, they are the highlight of my day!
