Shock Stall
PTC is no worse than any other school. There will always be students and ex students who want something for nothing, usually the ones who can't perform or produce the required standard. I'm sure you will see that on your own course, then you get all the vinyards full of sour grapes.

If the school is working for you then stick at it. Your qualifications and ability are totally your responsibility to achieve NOT the responsibility of the school, instructors, your mum or anyone else. It is not supposed to be a holiday as more than a few students appear to think. You have the access to all the information and help you could need right now so be pro-active and take advantage of it, don't wait to be led. That is not how good Captains behave. When Airlines interview they are not looking at you as an FO they are looking at you as a potential Captain so start practicing that attitude now while you can. Make your own decisions.
The real world of aviation is a lot harder than a few months at PTC and is worse right now.

Yes, there are lots of improvements that PTC and all the other schools could make but it is an expensive and difficult business to run.

Let the people here have the courage to identify themselves and give actual evidence of their complaint then we can find out how they performed at the school. But no of course that won't happen will it because they don't want you to know. Why should anyone believe an anonymous posting by an underachiever?
