Angry More details...

Pyrotek,

My source also tells me that another cadet questioned the maths for the training with LKH.
Apparently it costs REX $100 p/h for the training aircraft. However, in regards to the loaned amount of 80k, the cadets are being charged aropund the $300 p/h. For the $100p/h route it costs around 37- 40K (NOT 80k).
When the cadet brought this to LKH attention and asked why the discrepancy, he said "How dare you question me", followed by the fact that "we have 2000 other people who want your spot".

He then apparently told them all that before the end of the day, they had to tell the CFI whether they wanted to stay. And if they heard nothing, it would be assumed that they wanted to leave.
marvellous that!!

Oh and apparently more than 1 person has a copy of the tirade!
