So how is trade during the downturn?Busy?
Hi,
Just wondered how the turn over on PPL instructing is doing during these though times? Has there been a reduction in students? Or trial lessons? Or is it business as usual! Thanks for any input:) PT |
Well I'm instructing 1 day a week and we've seen an upturn in new PPLs who have signed up, this is all with a fuel surcharge as well. Trial lessons are about the same level, so in effect we haven't seen any change as yet, infact it's slightly better.

Thanks
Music to my ears Deano!! Need to get flying again finished the commercial training few months back, now for the FI me thinks:ok:
Happy flying:) |
No other opinions?
|
over the past year I only saw the groups getting bigger. Each class now consists of at least 20 students (not PPL but fATPL courses).
|
I'm only a part time FI, but to be honest I've never been busier !!
Downturn ? What downturn ?? TJ |
Maybe its a little early - wait untill potential students realize they cant remortgage there house again to pay off there borrowings for there training and things might change.
I hope not. |
Certainly the heli PPL side and Trial lessons has slowed down. This is my full time job and this weekend I have one 1/2hr trial lesson.....:eek:
|
Thanks for the repsonses:ok:
|
Our school seems as busy as ever, only the :mad: british weather getting in the weather!
|
I know bloody Weather:ugh:
|
Yup...
...busy here too, TOO!
|
6 weeks plus waiting list for lessons at my school.
:\ |
Well Busy
I think our clubs just had the busiest week I can remember for some time:)
|
I was instructing when the 80's recession took hold. Boy did it go quiet then.
|
...busy here too, TOO! Did 3 full details today, with a late start, plus a solo. TheOddOne |
TOO.....lightweight!
Didn't stop today. Flew three full exercises, one T/L, two pre-solo checks out to P. Ris and sent a seventh off QXC as I'd flown with him on Friday. Only time for one cuppa today. |
You guys should try working in the property and construction sector. The turnover of my 38 year old business is down 60% :eek: in the last six months :rolleyes:
|
Thanks for all the replys:ok:
|
In case the downturn does come, here are some tips that may help some of you with your CVs: ;)
Given that it may be one of you guys who eventually has to sign me off for my competence in English, the anonymity of PPRuNe has a lot to recommend it. :ok: |
