Hello All
I'm new to PPRuNe, but I thought I might have some insights to share on this topic.
DAE is trying to become the next "big thing" in the aviation industry. $15+ billion is being invested, a portion of which is goin to the start up of the flight academy. These guys are the real deal, and have a interesting approach to flight training and career development.
I've had first hand experiences here in the states with many of the newly recruited employees going to Dubai to run and instruct at the Flight Academy, and must say that they are among the best and the brightest. I'm curious to see how succesful the program will be, I'm confident that they will one day be synomonous with other well respected pilot training organizations arround the world. :-)
