I have a good friend who went over with this lot. I've been in contact with a lot of the former students who were over there, so I think I can post here with some accuracy and insight. They says there was basically 3 groups of people in the schools:
1. Messers and boozehounds who had no business going near aircraft (a minority, about 4 or 5 people)
2. Normal, motivated students who were there to work hard and make something of themselves (the vast majority of students)
3. Students who are willing to sing the praises of and plant stories on behalf on Caa, and also run to management telling tales about other students (again, a minority)
Winto22-
I don't accept for a minute that all the former students were not committed. I know of at least 3 who went elsewhere and successfully completed their training. Also, if there was an attitude problem, as you claim, it doesn't say much for the interview process at Caa that so many were allowed into the course.
Next point.
Sorry for being vague but i cant really give a number
As you said, your answer was vague. Lets get specific then.
*Have Caa had hundreds of graduates as they are claiming? You don't need to know the exact numbers to answer this, Sir. Please don't dance around the question by repeating your post for the fifth time or telling us again how great you think Caa are.
*Have they put one or more graduates into airline jobs, which you failed to answer?
Yes, AFC have had a few incidents, like any other school. I know that one involved a student and his girlfriend who ended up going off the runway and got stuck in mud after, cough, "swerving to avoid debris on the runway"
Incidentally, this student still only hasn't completed the course after 2 years.
Vti-
All the best with your new career. You brought up an interesting point though. From whom I've talked to, most decided to enroll with Caa (or Pri Academy at the time) as they were promised jobs, and thats why they paid all the extra money. So you can understand their position since Caa have never secured work for anyone. Also, I would hope you have the wisdom to see things with your own eyes, and I would encourage you to talk to everyone over there to get an even balanced side of the story, then decide for yourself. As you said, take everything with a grain of salt.
CaaLegal-I'd be very sure of my facts before making a post like that. Remember, all the former students in one courtroom giving evidence..
.Perhaps you should arrange an interview with the Matt Cooper show on TodayFM and deal with the allegations head on? Or maybe the former students should arrange it hmmm? That way you can nip all these nasty, unfounded rumours in the bud. After all, you're right and they're wrong. Maybe you would care to comment on the free return flights that were promised to students last year instead of making fantastic claims about James Bond style ISP tracking?
Now, lets stay on the topic which is the Canadian Aviation Academy, instead of rambling on about Moncton.
For the record, everyone I talked to had no problems with Algonquin Flight School, so that side of things you need not worry about. Although its going to be interesting to see how Caa provide new students with a Jaa conversion, when they don't even have a Jaa instructor in AFC. Time will tell.
