Reading this brain dead rebuttal made me realize that only someone as daft as a Baa administration staff can come up with this. After a reverse IP searching the fake user, I found that this comment was written by Lina the head of groundschool in Baa training. Notice how she actually doesn’t deny anything on the forum, but instead take no accountability and shifts the blame to others and insults students after emptying their bank accounts.
To the people interested in Baa read that comment carefully, it’s first hand experience of what you will go through when you will join this mafia of an organization.

It is crazy how you can point a narrative just one way
youare trying to shift responsibility of making bad hiring decisions. That is Baas responsibility and this scandal shows that Baa hires anyone and everyone without proper checks. This is further seen in your case Lina , you have no previous experience in aviation nor any relevant education but here you are as the head of ground school of a flight school.

Yes and you are the cause of it. No airline outside of
Avia Solutions, which is the company which owns you, is willing to hire ANY Baa student because they don’t want to be associated with the scandals you put yourself into, and they also know that Baa doesn't have ANY standards whatsoever when it comes to recruiting this is why Baa graduates are always on the
bottom of the CV pile in job application.
Unemployment is a HUGE problem amongst Baa graduates and 90% don’t even get a job as an airline pilot as demonstrated
here,
here,
here and
here
Not even rayanair accepts Baa students unless they
cover up their
bad training with a fancy
Rayanair APS MCC.

People pay from 70k-110k to train in your institution, and here you are acting surprised when you grab all of that money, and deliver sh1t training and send them down the road of unemployment.

And you did nothing to amend those issues. No apology, no money back, absolutely nothing. And after emptying students bank accounts, and making them unemployable here you are insulting them on PPRuNE. Despicable.
And
same issues persist. You can rarely deliver the course to anyone in the
time you promise. There are even some people who have crossed
the 3 year mark…

The current situation is that people have called out your lies so there are less people joining, and you have as many students flying as much as I have fingers in my left hand (I have 4 fingers). you are reducing your fleet, you are selling your aircrafts and you are flying in the foggiest city in spain and you maximum capacity for students is 4.

YOU are the ones who create these small margins by exploiting loopholes, because
YOUR training program which
YOU have created to save money at the expense of quality allows for
MAXIMUM delays with a student receiving bare
MINIMUM hours and inconsistent training.
The fact that you make students fly
ONLY 4 flights on the aircraft type which they will have their final and
MOST IMPORTANT exam on as student pilots stands testament to your horrible quality training. Not to mention how cheekily you cut costs at the expense of quality by shoving an MCC course in between these last 4 flights, saving yourself from the expense of delivering
REAL FLIGHT TIME and giving
SIMULATOR HOURS instead. Also those simulators are meant for type rating and real pilots who work at airlines already, not Baa flight school atpl students, they are the last priority therefore it takes them 3-4 months to complete the last stage of the training due to the simulators being booked 247 for outsiders. Massive delays along with, inconsistent flying with huge gaps in between paves a path of bad preparation for the final exam for the license which leads failure and this is all because of your poor quality cost cutting curriculum.
In
NO REGULATION is it written that you have to do MCC before the final exam, but we all know why you do things this way.

Because no other training company has such a horrible record of delivering sooo many unsuccessful cadet programs. 2 of the airlines in those unsuccessful cadet programs were owned by the same company which owns you (avion express and small planet). Stop trying to act like you have no affiliation, when you clearly do.
LOT cadet program was 10k more expensive than the integrated training. Did you return the money to the cadets when LOT did not take those cadets on? No, You took the money and delivered unemployment.
The only successful cadet program you have is smartlynx, which has a huge student drop out rate, because no one wants to fly 50 hours per year with a salary of 50 euros per flying day.

Are you talking from experience when you tried to dogwhistle a rayanair affiliation, but then deleted the article on your website after getting called out by them?

You mean like

All in all, since it actually is a rumor network, I guess it is pretty obvious as to what type of people come here 
Cheers, and happy pilot's day guys!
You are just mad about the fact that people here can talk openly against your KGB management style run organization. Your
damage control on instagram, deleting google reviews,
shutting down students,
ignoring messages doesn’t work here on these forums.
And now that people see through your ‘job guarantees’ and ‘cadet programs’, they see having Baa in a CV is equal to unemployment, your bare minimum training, 3rd class fleet, disgusting base choice and upper management attitude towards paying customers has caused a significant decrease in new customers.
I can see that the 3 students on avg enrollment rate per class is definitely making you burn which is why you have come to bless us with your lack of wisdom in these forums in the first place. There is a significant pushback already against your ad campaign, with numerous meme pages and tik tok accounts ridiculing your training school.
All in all this was a very sad attempt of you to come to this forum because all it did was show that you are indeed the top 3 from the bottom in the european flight school business.
