I started lessons to add on a helicopter endorsement. The first lesson went fine. The second one was cancelled because of maintenance. The next lesson went fine but then on each of the next three lessons....I was getting ready to walk out the door to go to the lesson and called to confirm and was told that they meant to call me and cancel because the helicopter was down for maintenance. I live two hours from the school, and they know this, and I was so mad last time that I flew in anyway just to pick up my training logbook, but I didn't mention that I was pissed.
It's the only school in the area and they have around 40 active students so I'm sure losing me as a student is no big deal. I haven't been able to find another school within 2 hours travel time.
1. Am I making too much of this and just need to suck it up? I like the instructors, but I need to fly more often. And I guarantee that I'd blow up if I traveled there once for a lesson only to have it cancelled when I could have had notice.
2. There are other schools a few hours away. I can take 3 weeks off work, but is it doable to finish training in that amount of time? (flying R22)
3. If so, can someone suggest a good school?
