WWW. It's ok waving the flag, I'm old enough to remember the flag wavers when we had a British car industry. Let's be realistic and accept that like the British car industry was, British flight training is overpriced and like the car industry is likely to become a rare animal in the realistic world. Waving the flag and being exclusive is hardly the way forward. I see no difference between training in the USA or Spain, neither place is the UK. The fact that Brits are employed in Spain as instructors is encouraging and commendable but nevertheless not an overwhelming consideration in deciding where all training should be carried out, well not to me anyway! Aviation is a global industry and the two main players are Europe and the USA it's time that the two leading players came together to agree common standards for training and qualification.
Has anybody heard the news that the British Empire has fallen?
