Rightfully so.

This isn’t the military, boy. If you can’t make the standards you might reasonably expect the whitetail flightschool that you’ve just payed €120.000 to train you upto standard, albeit at an additional cost.

Terminating a student after some failed ATPL exams and keeping all of the money, is what you call rightfully so? I would call it getting shafted and If anything it is a poor move from the school. It doesn’t show an educational dedication towards the student and makes me wonder what to expect further down the road.

I’d rather have a student fail and have a good grasp of the knowledge afterwards, than a first time passer who’s only able to reproduce the required knowledge. But I am not a flightschool and I do not require to maximize my profits.

And a last note: ATPL scores are a poor standard to uphold in the first place.
