The worst are these flight schools with lies they tell prospective trainees.
They need YOUR money.
I guarantee you, they will lie better than used car salesmen.
Anything to sell you expensive, and more expensive training "to get you hired"...

Not far from 50 years that I am around airplanes.
Flight schools LIE since the October War 1973...
Their famous motto is "AIRLINE HIRING BOOM IS HERE"...
If I want to be a millionaire in aviation, I would not have an airline.
I would have a flight school, better, a TRTO...

Do you know THEIR COST of operating a 747 Classic simulator...?
$100/hour... How much DO YOU PAY for the Bournemouth's 747 simulator...?
Put 12 trainees in a classroom... I would laugh my way to the bank.
I know training better than most here... it is my specialty.

You can buy training and... a licence...
You cannot buy a job.
Certainly not with the way the economy goes these days.
Pilot hiring...? - Right now, just look at airlines' pilot attrition numbers.
That is the ONLY number you can rely on. Retirements and medicals.
I would be a wannabee in 2008, I would pull my hair... and cry.

Not so happy contrails, sorry...
