It is clear where dre's vested interests lie. Of course there is a place for these academies BUT I think it is wrong that the taxpayers rather than the airlines are being forced to make the investment in their training.
I get to see the ones that have done the course and similar ones and have had nothing at the end of it; coming to me with a useless resume, a massive, massive debt and a lot of regrets. According to them they are the vast majority and if they had their time again would never have done it that way.
Anecdotal I know, but I wouldn't trust stats from the people who are running the courses either.
