Its not rubbish and it was a general comment about all flying schools.
Those of us that have been in the game for only 10-15 years havve seen millions of pounds of students cash dissapear with flying schools going bust.
Some of which were recieving similar posts as your own days before the doors shut.
If you can afford to loose the lot then feel free to take a deal. If you can't don't pay up front.
This goes for every flying school in the country/world
