EFT Accomodation

I just wanted to highlight EFT's new accomodation policy and wondered if anyone else has comments/been caught out by it.

They have put up the accomodation cost from $600 to $1050 per month, while the actual standard of accomodation has decreased and is now 20-30 minutes drive away, previous accomodation was actually on the airfield, or 10 mins away.

For your extra money, you get to share a cheap and nasty Hyundai or similar, if you do not have a driving license, or wish to buy your own car, you do not get a discount.

The affiliate FAA school, Ari Ben, only charges $500 for the accomodation and doesn't force you to share a horrible car.

I've trained with EFT since Sept 05, and fly out to Florida on monday to do the CPL/IR, they had the courtesy to tell me of this policy change today, even though I signed up for the CPL/IR 5 weeks ago. I do not have time to arrange alternative accomodation now.

Anyone else think this is unfair?
