Very interesting what you have to say but in my seven years in aviation I have met 20+ who directly have had bad experiences with you and that is just in the US not including your mess in cardiff and gloucester. You might have reformed but I think new wannabes are screwed enough by our industry without them taking the risk of your possible improvement. This however is not a comment about your flying instuction which is good but about how you run your business.
I also went to your school and when I was there 4 of us had problems caused by you/your organisation. There are FTO's that do not have to come on pprune to defend there record because they do not recieve all these negative comments. All FTO's might have one or two unhappy students but not on your scale.
I look on these forums due to the fact that I still do some work in flight training but also to try and stop future pilots falling into some of the traps thaqt I fell into.
ps I must feel strongly about this as I think this is the longest posting I have ever made.
