Well if enough people posted their views on schools instead of running for cover in fear of ridicule perhaps the wannabes forum will be able to claw back some of the respect and usefullness of past years and prospective students wouldn't lose thousands of pounds with the wrong FTO. Some of the few people posting here are no longer using wannabes for their own ends - some are paying back the debt they owe from information gained prior and during their own training.
If enough people are praising a school then there has to be substance to it and as such must be taken at face value or else what hope is there for a forum such as this? A school of BGS's integrity would never need to stoop to such low levels as drumming up business on PPRuNe anyway. When I attended their brush up course there was a three month waiting list so things cannot now be so bad that someone with the credibility of Alex Whittingham has to write spurious posts on PPRuNe. Anyone who has met the guy would know this.
The top schools like BGS deserve every good word that goes their way and if some simpletons think this is some sort of mass deception and false advertising then they're going to lose out when it comes to making their own choices of ground training providor. Who would think such a thing anyway?
