If the NEW management are working so hard why is it such a universally accepted opinion Agusta has lost the plot.

Major international companies give away their pilot training slots for engineer training and train their own. Albeit not to any better standard, but certainly much cheaper than the waste of time spent at Vergiate and Cesto Calende.

The engineer training is even worse than the pilot. The instructors are EX something, never held a civil license and never worked or seen the aircraft until the previously pseudo accredited team packed off to USA and they were parachuted in. The engineering training does not meet any of the major authority requirements and is an absolute sham. Agusta should be sweating bullets with their ACCREDITED TRAINING and the lack of knowledge their instructors possess. Most if not all of the students rocking up for training are better suited to instruct than the boys in house.

That is not to say they will never get there, or they are not trying hard, they are indeed by all accounts, but as indicated earlier $13,000,000.00 USD a copy deserves more effort on Agusta's part.
