To give the people who are considering CAE as an option, I will give you one piece of advise, DON'T.
While I have to give them credit for the theory (which was relatively decent), the current CPL part of the course is an absolute nightmare for my class. The MPL part of my class (after a 3 month delay) is finally flying to Phoenix. However, the ATPL part (since we're a mixed class) is going to Montpellier. What I heard is absolutely crazy! Some of them, packed up, drove around 16 hours to Montpellier just to hear on the day of arrival that there's no training capacity there at the moment and that they have to go back home without any reimbursements for their hotel or gas
. They had been sending emails that whole week and NO ONE from CAE even bothered to reply to them or tell them what's going on until they were already there...
In Phoenix you have the same issue. My MPL part doesn't get to fly because CAE does not have the instructors to provide flight sessions so we're expecting to be in Phoenix for around 9 months (while we should be there for only 6). So that means we're getting an additional 3 month delay on top of the 3 we already had.
For the ATPL's that finished I heard that their MEIR phase in Montpellier apparently was also delayed by 4 months (making it a total of 6 months) because there were no instructors and the whole flight school that they subcontracted had to temporarily shut down operations and change management until they were able to begin with training again. We had some people coming to train for their last phase (APS MCC) and they reported to have been following the course for 34 months up until that point which is insaneeee.
So unless you're prepared to pay around €116,000 (excluding rent, gas, food, etc.) and do your ATPL for approximately 30 months, then I heavily recommend you to look for another flight school or MPL program!
