I also believe that it's probably been brought about more by the school then the students.
All they want to do is get the numbers in, take their money and worry about how to deal with the vast numbers of students later. Full time students should be flying once a day (weather permitting).
They're all a bunch of crooks at the BK sausage factories. They treat the students and intructors like sh*t and get away with it because the Instructors don't have a whole lot of options (especially at the moment) and the foreign students have usually paid a significant amount upfront. Not to mention sending foreign students "solo" to get command time with an instructor in the right seat to make sure they don't prang it (which was at another BK sausage factory, not aerospace just for the record).
They will probably have their VETAB approval revoked soon if they're not careful.
