Australian Wings Academy
Phil
We have tried to throughout the time at AUSTRALIAN WINGS ACADEMY and mentioned to your training standards manager on a number of occasions, our suggestions on what/how you could improve. The people whom actually had given their opinions when the “training standards manager” first started his position aired their opinions but no action was taken. And those who gave a negative opinion were given a hell of a time at the school some of them had to change school. I recall at one stage of my training when everyone was given a green form to give their suggestions and nothing out of that suggestion form was ever taken into place, and we were just treated like spastics. Phil I’d also mention that if there is such thing as a training standards manager at AUSTRALIA WINGS ACADEMY he should know every students need not just make things up saying he is multi engine command instrument rating/instructor rated and then lying to students saying that he will teach them. I say he wouldn't have a clue on how to start the dutchess just as much as how well you don't know how to run your school. So I think it would be better off that we give our opinions on this forum so I and those who have fallen in the traps, would like to help others not to make the same mistakes as a lot of us have done.
As AUSPILOT101 mention those “everyone who can’t make it in aviation works in a flying school. Any person who becomes an aviation manager is either too scared to fly or isn’t intelligent enough to make it into an airline”
Can see the standards of teaching drop dramatically, as cost cutting and keeping the inexperienced instructors = Bad teaching = unproperly trained pilots. And lying to get the job later will cause problems down the track, when they lack experience in aviation, and can/will cause business to fold.
There are many other students including the Air Asia cadets who would like to express their feelings and criticize to you personally but have learnt from others not to do so because of the consequences of their actions if done so. There are more students past and present that will join this forum and will not be threatened and intimidated by your staff.
I recall on one occasion where you and 3 other staff interrogated a student at one time, you don’t see that at other schools and is a very bad business practice, and another occasion where a instructor had taken a student outside and YELLED on top of her voice abuse which is not appropriate for a customer paying top dollar, that instructor was praised for her action.
AUSTRALIAN WINGS ACADEMY does not operate on a strict finance policy I can gather ATLEAST 3 bills that you have sent students and had just given a digit for on a piece of sticky note or a ripped up piece of paper
E.g. Commercial over run$10000 CAN SHOW PROOF OF THAT
Landing fees $2500 CAN SHOW PROOF OF THAT
Air services charges $3000 CAN SHOW PROOF OF THAT
Without a break down on what there is needed to pay and when we voice our actions your response to us would be pay now no talking or threaten to cancel our visa/exam.
And how about those students who you have to refund money to? There are student there that are still waiting for THEIR… THEIR money to be returned not yours.
I wish to hear your concern on this forum so everyone can see what is being said instead of being so denial and telling us to send you an email of concerns, when we have already given you enough opinion! You can dismiss our concerns and be denial but you know it will always catch up to you.
