after the article was published in Times of India, dated 27th Nov I did some research of my own. I now understand that Kingfisher KFA is not in any relationship with ASA. There was a agreement earlier where in KFA was supposed to give an interview chance to some ASA students, but the agreement was broken in 2007.
Times of India is known to report wrongly and sensationalize issues for the heck of it, they are good for page -3 reporting as of today. i am not trying to defend Kingfisher in this and students need to keep their eyes open before choosing a flying school.
ASA had a horrible reputation with it being asked for closure in 2007 also. It didnt have a valid business insurance i.e. its aircraft were flying un insured. Also the promoter a certian Mr. Singh overstayed in US after his flying in 1995, he is romored to be running this school as an illegal alien.
In some of his interviews he has claimed his schools problems to arise from 'indian agents' making off with his money and at some other places the students who complained about ASA as students being not qualified enough to fly.
ASA was running a huge racket in the name of flying. if you want you can check the website for yourselves and take a look at the unprofessional language and spelling mistakes to start with.
