The Aviation School Aerocondor L3 European Airline Academy - located at the Ponte de Sor aerodrome, in Alentejo - decided to terminate the contracts of 120 students who attended the course that would allow them to obtain the commercial aircraft pilot license (ATPL) .
The notice arrived by email and was justified by covid-19. In practice, the 120 students were left without the money for the part of the training already completed (around 20 thousand euros) and without alternatives to continue and complete the course. The problem, in this case, is that this pilot training must be carried out, from beginning to end, obligatorily within 36 months, according to the international rules defined by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) ). Now, with no places available at other schools - due to the high number of people currently attending ATPL courses in Portugal - the 120 students risk losing everything: money and training”
Doesn't surprise me for even a second. They never cared about their students in the past. They don’t care about them now. They won’t care in the future. WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP GIVING THEM THEIR MONEY??
