to Mr Walt Lazaruk
When there is controversy, it's never all black or white.
Walt, you are not the crook some would like to cry it loud but you are not either the "extremely honest and professionnal person" Bustie (whoever or yourself maybe behind this) wants like us to believe.
You are just trying to get your cut betwen the trainee (paying customer) and its service providers (instructors from AirCan and sim owned by airlines but not yours). That's your business, period!
Not that there is anything wrong with that, since I met several of your trainees 2 years ago, and three of them that I kept in touch, made their training and passed at the price you agreed upon. Where it becomes a grey area (or pretty dark in this matter) it's when you insists having connections, contacts with other airlines to boost/help/connect your students with them, which is AN ABSOLUTE RUBBISH....
Your self promoted ad on this topic earlier on, made reference of resumes landing on DFO's desks because of your help. There is nothing further from the truth and that's when people start getting upset with you. The three I mentionned earlier, never heard from you afterwards, and even thought you were hiding from them. That a couple of students landed jobs is a fact, but not thanks to you. Nowhere do you help someone once they pass. There is nothing wrong with that in the absolute since you are just a training provider, but when you reckon having this power, then people will feel disapointed from your silence afterwards and some will post rants about yourself and your organization.
So yes, you have a spacious facility, with a great software for homestudy, knowledgable instructors, I reckon most of the students did pass at the end with no extra cost, but please get rid of those so called connections you have with airlines. I called their chief pilots, either they don't know you or they don't want to talk about you.
For all wannabees type trainees and to make a story short, go to Active if all you want is a ticket and then forget about it and don't expect any more help.
And then, save some more for EagleJet...
Say $45000 + living expenses for a year in Singapore (ouch!!...)...
But that's another topic...
Walt Lazaruk if you may answer, please be specific and tell me exactly where I am getting it wrong.
