Hey mohammad, I was also a victim of poor treatment at AWA, ‘bumped’ for international students like you, but its good to see this coming out now and maybe something will happen about how AWA management thinks more about its bank balance than paying customers, but as long as they keep their so called accounts manager in the place then expect no change.
I agree with your comments but I'm confused.... , there is a standards manager and a training manager at AWA but they are not the same person. The standards manager is a highly qualified instructor and the training manager has a PPL. I found him to be an ok sort of guy who helped me and others out. As far as I know he has never said he had any other flying quals except for years of experience in aviation. Maybe he told you different or you are mixing them up. He’s one of the better ones, but that’s saying something! Anyway it realy doesn’t matter who is ‘management’ at AWA as the only one who makes decisions is Phil and the others have to toe the line to save their jobs so the buck rests with him.
Im outta there now but I hear the place is falling apart, instructors leaving or being pushed, no new students, same old aircraft, same old attitude towards customers. Can someone tell me what the general manager actually does. Anyone found out yet?
