It has been a long wait for all of us also before joining the program, so I can rely with your frustration but hang in there!
You're either at the very start of your ground school and buying the CAE Propaganda or a CAE Employee trying to claw back some credibility to the scheme...
As a current cadet I can tell you things post ground school are DIRE. You have 80 cadets in Malaga who have been there for upwards of 5 months and haven't even solo'd yet, spending thousands of euros on accommodation. The CAA have just GROUNDED their entire fleet due to safety concerns and they have NO instrument rated instructors meaning if they do somehow make it to solo they have no means of completing their training. For those not aware solo is the first stage of 3 stages of training... So they are not even close to finishing!
Phoenix is massively overloaded with a HUGE instructor shortage. Cadets are getting averages of 1 mission a week and were told they were 'lucky' to be seeing that. The advertised '18 month course' is taken in excess of 2.5 years.
When Malaga eventually closes due to its unfeasibility where do you think those 80 cadets will go? And what do you think will happen to the cadets currently in ground school? ... Sounds like another hold pool to me! Don't forget us and our colleagues in the UK all took massive delays before going to Phoenix to allow them to 'fix the issues' only to arrive and it be in a worse position than before the hold pool.
Help yourselves... don't listen to this guy/girl!!
