Take action
Folks, if this proves anything it is this. Time and again rogue business people in aviation set up a school (or in this case take over what was one of the best schools in SA) and rip people off, again and again and again.
The LADY in question used to work at the CAA and one of the directors of the old FTC now works for the CAA; it's just too incestiousfor words.
The LADY of the two partners of the new, but now defunct FTC, who heads up Global Flight Training is a JAA approved examiner for flight tests. Action MUST be taken to cease her trading and have her licence withdrawn. Let it not be forgotten that the JAA themselves ought to be involved in this matter.
The new FTC had plans to change name from FTC to GFT at least 2 years ago. I wonder what their motive was.
People, get the word around by all legal means and tell the aviation world in SA to have nothing to do with GFT. The reasons are obvious. Do not have ANYTHING to do with these so called professionals. You will loose your money and the Gentleman(!) in this partnership was quoted in the local Midrand reporter as sayins that he had no moral or legal obligation in these circumstances.
Something, but something must be done and convincing action bought to bear to stop this awful situation.
