For all of ye interested in going to CAA/PRI but are now reconsidering after reading this forum you should try this. Its quite obvious that there are some pretty pissed x-students of CAA here that they’ve made a career out of slagging them. Not to undermine what these guys have been through but I wanted to know how things are now. I rang Tony in the Killorglin office and asked him to set up a call with one of the students over there. Since I didn’t know if I wanted to go for fixed wing or rotary he set me up with a call from both. I ended up speaking to a few students in each house since they all live together and they had nothing but glowing reviews for the place. I even asked about the stuff posted here and we had a bit of a laugh about it. I got the real ‘inside scoop’ and I’m told that the students want for nothing and actually were given way more than what they were promised or thought. My point is that all of these guys that I spoke to can’t be ‘planted’ as is said on this forum. Whatever happened before is long since in the past and I just want to do my training where everything else is taken care of for me and its cheaper then what I would get here plus everyone who does their research knows that Canada is the best for pilot training with the weather and seasons. If you don’t want this option then go to the school yourself but I couldn’t be arsed. I’ll be over to Canada in February.
Just look at how many of us are on here telling of the horror stories. Honestly, the most unbelievable things happened over there......not with the flying or anything, it all happened outside of that. Ive said before that Im not going to say what happened on a public forum, but believe me, its not pleasant. As I said in my last post, it would be good if these chancers would take legal action against any of us, because then all the stuff that happened would come out in court. I really would love it to come out because these incidents were very very very very serious.
Anyway, as a lot of people seem to be noticing (at last), there are plenty of plants from the company on this forum. Just look at the posts from this winto bloke......has he answered any questions accurately???
NO, all he does is praise the company as much as possible. Thats what he is paid to do. And thats the exact same as Ricky used to do.
And the argument that some of the former students had the wrong attitude is a completely false statement in my opinion. All of the people I know from the course are now well on their way to finishing in other reputable schools. I for one am completing my FIR at the moment.
Dont be pulled in with the false promises of jobs and false statements. I wish I never wasted any time or money with this crowd.
But if you still insist on handing over your hard earned cash, then best of luck......you'll need it.
