Yeah I am one of those frustrated and angry ex-students....
I agree with you Rodrigues, taking the approach you're taking is much more constructive especially on advising potential student pilots looking for a flying school in Brisbane.
My experience was very much along the same lines as you Rodrigues. I was treated like I was not worthy to be at AAA, yet AAA were happy to take my money; I was paying large sums of money to be there. How any flying school expects to get the best out of their students by tearing them down rather than building them up - goes against all reasonable understanding??
In all fairness not everyone at AAA were bad, there are a lot of good people, unfortunately they were overshadowed by the bad apples, and I do mean bad apples!
My advice to any future student pilot looking at AAA as a potential flying school - is to stay away, stick to a small professional organisation who want you to succeed and succeed with you. Look for a flying school that will take equal pride in your accomplishments as you progress.
I advanced in leaps and bounds once I left that stress bowl that is AAA.
Try to avoid the temptation that sucked me - the Qantas & Griffith hype that they love to dangle as an incentive.
Anyway well done Rodrigues for taking the leadership & doing it the right way
