Mr Atalla,
Allot of your students & employees had high hopes for Ayla Aviation. It was an exciting time for all to be involved in a new project with squeaky clean aircraft and facilities. However over time, the cracks began the show and there was a slow and noticeable disintegration of the way things were being done.
It was the
human element that started letting the school down, more specifically it's Management. Your employees & students naturally have vested interest in how well the school performs, and when things go wrong, we offered constructive feedback with the hope that you'd take that onboard and make positive changes out of it.
Everybody from students to instructors have questioned your suitability to the job of running an FTO. You used to run an investment firm in Texas then jumped straight into the deep end with running an FTO to which you bring no previous operational background or experience to the table. Your not an ex-airline pilot, you've never run an FTO before, your not ex-RAF pilot, and your not an ex-flight instructor. Your an
industry outsider by all accounts!
Your a self proclaimed private pilot running a "commercial" flight school. That means you have never been a customer of your own product.
It's no secret that Ayla Aviation is a sinking ship and allot of people think there is only one way to save it. The day you take a back seat role, and the words '
Under New Management' are proudly displayed on your main website will be the day that people will take new found interest in Ayla Aviation.
PS. Everything from your directors compensation with NEST, to the thousands of dollars you donated to George Bush's campaign, to your court cases in Texas is
public information!
