I am starting to notice that I do not voice my opinion enough over the phone. Once I think about what was said, I wish I was more of a vocal customer.
I am just thinking to myself. Would I like it better at an FBO? I do not know. Its sort of a hard situation. UND gives you 3 launch days per week. Some times you launch 1, sometimes 2, rarely do I ever get my 3 launches in. If you guys could do it all over again knowing what you know now? Would you have went to UND? I came here to fly. I want to fly more and at a faster pace.
Thanks for listening to me guys. |
Ah.... sounds familiar .... sigh ...
I had a very similar experience in my 102 and 221 training with my instructor. I was a little bit of a slow learner on "landings" and spent so much time on them that I got fustrated and took a couple of days off from flying. Then when I had cooled off my instructor had booked up his schedule so that I was almost completely unable to go through my 3 launches a week. It got so awful that I decided skipping class would be a good idea in order to get my flights done. I don't recommend that
Anyways all through my later half of 102 and almost all of 221 I ALWAYS seemed to accomidate to my instructors schedule. They both seemed to have things come up or needed to finish another student, or had to go on a X-C with some other kid or his girlfriend was in town for the weekend .. blah blah blah. My 221 instructor actually told me that instead of doing one of the night X-C flight on the night the Sioux were in town that he really would like to go to game.. and stupidly I said no problem. It was these few minor reschedules that kept pushing me off the template.
I learned the hard way not to let instructors run the schedule for my completion. I made it quite clear in 222 that things were gonna be done my way on schedule and that I wasn't up for constant resceduling and time conflicts due to my past experiencs. I too thought after my private training if UND was the right place because I felt that I had been given the run around by every one and flight ops and leads (at that time, they are much better today). 222 was the first course that I actually for the most part stayed on template... SO i would as the other people have said talk to your instructor first and if that doesnt help, talk to your lead or even your instructors lead, you'll be surprised even how much they might actaully help ya .. but good luck
