Petpilot There is nothing wrong with AFT as a company.
The rest of them are great.
Les is a superb Instructor, and I have only heard good things about Andy the CFI.
Atlantic cadets have a very good reputation for being well trained.
The other advantage is Atlantic is a big company and are renowned for letting relatively inexperenced pilots loose on some very nice machines.
I wouldn't write them off as a group because of one instructor.
