I think that when I first considered learning to fly, I did think that the flight school was getting a significant proportion of my hourly rate as profit. Twenty odd years a PPL and several hundred hours later, I understand that not many people in the training world appear to have made their millions and retired.
I can only defend the Shoreham operation by stating that their ATC is one of the busiest and most professional I have come across and as far as flight schools are concerned, I booked a trial lesson with Advance Helicopters last year in their Schweizer before deciding whether or not to turn to the 'dark side' of rotary flight, and found them friendly, welcoming and efficient.
Mind you, I spoke to them a week earlier, booked in during the week rather than a weekend, turned up on time and had researched the aircraft I was to fly.
Perhaps Jonazarno and the flight school he chose just combined to have their bad day on the same day.
