NASA / CATA.... Been there, did that glad I woke up and saw the rubbish when I did.
As a starey eyed 17 year old I was sold the dream of CPL, instructor rating, instruct for free and QF will be begging for you. Instructors only caring for their own hours, no regard for the student. The school telling you when you can have the honour of giving them your hard earned money (thanks to the Brewery as a glassy for MANY hours and mates from the rugby club for the labouring gigs!!!).
When I finally left they tried to take me for $8k. When I challenged it they gave up. Would have been interesting as I had about $80 in the bank till Austudy paid up!
If anything I could say it gave me some insight into the GA world.....
