Hi all.

Had problems with PTC like FL197. I was doing a multi/ir course with them and was flying two days a week with them to fit in with my work. I was getting my flying slots one week in advance.One week i got a phone call from George Edgeworth telling me i had slots on the TUES+WEDS the following week. Grand. Then the following Mon i got a phone call from a member of staff. Went somthing like this:
PTC" your flying in ten mins, are you going to bother to turn up. Your instructor has been sitting here for the last hour waiting for you"
ME "i was told it was tuse+ weds by george. Can I speak to him?"
PTC" He is not here. Your down for Mon, Tues,and Weds. Can you make it today?"
ME" No. Ill be down Tomorrow"

I arrived the next day to find out to my anger that my account had been charged 240euro for their mix up .I challanged George face to face and was lied to point blank. I also found that they had changed my instructor for the rest of my time there. That was just one of many times they got money off me for avoidable billing items. Shame on them.

My advice is that if you can go elsewhere..GO
