Very bad behaviour from Egnatia
Unethical Practices: The academy holds meetings to strategize how to take more money from you. They’ll schedule flights when they know you’re on vacation, ensuring you miss them and have to pay penalties. It’s a never-ending cycle of them finding new ways to drag out your training and empty your wallet.
. Decline in Instructor Quality: The best instructors have left the academy, and many of the current ones were just students themselves not too long ago. The quality of training has plummeted as a result.
. Aircraft and Airport Mismanagement: While it may seem like having a lot of aircraft and their own airports is a good thing, it’s actually a disadvantage. These factors only lead to more wasted time and money, especially during IFR training, where you’re constantly shuffled back and forth to Kavala.
. Hidden Fees and Extra Charges: They’ll hit you with all sorts of hidden fees—whether it’s for additional ground school sessions, unexpected exam fees, or surprise maintenance costs on aircraft. None of this is made clear when you sign up.
. Poor Communication: The administration is terrible at communicating with students. You’re often left in the dark about your training schedule, and any complaints or concerns are either ignored or brushed off.
. Unreliable Scheduling: They regularly cancel or reschedule flights at the last minute without any explanation, making it impossible to plan your time effectively. This leads to further delays in completing your training.
. Limited Support for International Students: If you’re coming from abroad, don’t expect any help from the academy. You’re left to figure out housing, transportation, and even basic living arrangements on your own.
. Overcrowded Training Facilities: The facilities are overcrowded, with too many students and not enough aircraft or instructors. This leads to long wait times for flights and limited access to simulators.
. Lack of Accountability: The academy takes no responsibility for their shortcomings. If something goes wrong, they’ll find a way to blame it on you, even if it’s their fault.
