funnydaytoday2 - The FACTS
Funnydaytoday2....I too am a cadet at CA. From my user id, its very clear as to who i am and where i come from.
So can we please know as to who you really are and in which batch you belong to? Reason why i am asking you is that if you ask anyone from course 1 to course 6...they all know the transformation that CA has undergone since june 2008. IF you are somebody from batch 1 to 6...please come over to dorm F...i will treat you to a drink and we can talk!
Till June 2008 i along with my bathmates were very concerned as to what will happen to us. there was an immense possibility that the school might just shut down and put an end to many dreams. Guys like me who are non sponsored had paid up in FULL even before i set my foot in Philippines. I was literally staring at Bankruptcy as i had sold me house and possessions and borrowed money to pay my tution fee. (and provide for my family also in my absence).
However now the things have changed for the better (as you can verify IF you just come to school and see for yourself).
I alway choose to ignore the Bumbay/Bombays bashing that some of my suppossedly fellow cadets (u never know whothey are!) keep posting at regular intervals in this thread. Is it of any use to anybody?!?
If you even care to ready my posts you should be aware that batch A cadets all are on track to graduate in Oct/Nov. This is as was planned by the mgmt and conveyed to the students by the students affairs officer a few months back. Nobody believed that the school would turn around. But now as a cadet when you can SEE the results for yourself. Should it really matter as to who is running the show? What one should be more concerned about is to see how his/her training is progressing and whether a clear path is visible in the future for the training to proceed. (That was ABSENT a few months back with the previous mgmt)
It was very clear a few months back that its going to take a while for the all the mess to get sorted out. Nobody believed that anything good would happen...so why is it that you find it so difficult to digest the fact that something good is finally happening.
Pep talk that i had with most of my batchmates and upper classmates only indicates that most of them are satisfied that their training is finally progressing. So what exacly is the problem now other than the FACT that we anyways are delayed. So it took 2 years instead of 1 to get into the right seat of an A320...so what? Is the wait not woth it? IF i were so dissatisfied with my training here, i would have quit long back and taken the traditional route.
Its a sad thing that even now most are not aware how MPL differs from a traditional CPL. People look at it from a monetary point of view and say oh for XXXX$$$$ we can do 200 hrs of flying and a blah blah blah type rating. well at the end of the day it is a personal choice...
I have worked in different positions in my past jobs. Most of the latter part of my job i was into grading people for their efficiency and skills. If i were to apply any of those techniques now...i would give full credit to the current mgmt and the their staff (irrespective of nationality) for turning around this school to what it should have been in the first place. TRUE...a lot of things can still be improved...but it would be highly unfair to just put down anyone without actually looking at what has been achieved in the past few months.
Last but not the least. As a cadet I will continue to post the updates from CA (as and when they happen) and they will all be verifiable FACTS only.
