GetOffMyBack,
I agree with you, and would be surprised that SD would allow her very high standards to slip.
Most chief pilots are interested in where their fresh new CPL's were trained.
And there is a family connection towards QF.
This school used to rank in the top 3 at BK, and I'm sure it still is up there.
Did the disappointed ones discuss their concerns with SD?
If there is a problem developing she would need to know so that she can fix it.
Voting with your feet is an effective signal to send, a frank and personal discussion is more likely to resolve any unwelcome trends.
I've used their services a number of times, good people, good aircraft, friendly family type atmosphere.
I often recommend the school to others, and hope I haven't been giving bad advice in the last year or so.
There is a very good operator at Camden to consider if the desire to bypass the sauage factory is strong.
