New training option - flythesky.ca

Hi

I was reading the verticalmag news and they have a short article on www.flythesky.ca. These guys are offering to train you as a commercial pilot over the period of 2 years for CAN$5,350. They do not offer too much detail but it sounds too good to be true. If you factor in living expenses it still seems reasonable. I can't help thinking what is the catch?

Does anyone know anything about this outfit?

I must say it has the makings of a good idea, as it will enable people to enter the industry without selling their house and betting it on a slim chance they can get a job as a low-hours pilot.

I am doing my PPL(H) in the UK at the moment, but I hope to start my CPL(H) in Canada next year and go on to work and live in Canada so I am looking for the best way to do it, but being a bit of a cynical Brit I am a bit cautious about these sorts of offers.
