Interesting posts on here.
I don't have much knowledge of most of the schools, but I have just completed my CPL/IR with Airways Flight Training in Exeter, and was very impressed with them. I completed everything within 4 weeks, without going over hours on the course and got full 1st time passes on both the CPL and the IR.
There were quite a few others who also passed 1st time or at least got partial passes whilst I was there.
The aircraft are good, and the instructors an excellent bunch....mainly ex military.
Would recommend these guys to anyone :o)
Best of luck.
