MarcoPolo,
I completely agree with your comments. I was fortunate enough to be warned one week before I was due to start and went to another training provider. I was shocked by the study material I was sent for $1500 deposit. One 2nd hand US Airways Manual, absolutely pathetic. Not a penny of the deposit was returned when I backtracked at last minute.
Many instructors at Bond left in the last few years to go to another well known provider in Florida. I guess its gone from bad to worse there.
