McNulty,
You obviously have an axe to grind. I don't, either way, when it comes to PTC, but I do get exasperated when schools are slagged off for such innocuous reasons.
Every commercial flight school I can think of has its instructors dress in flight uniform replete with 4 bars, irrespective of what level they instruct at. And quite right too.
Yes, of course PTC is all about the money - name me a flying school that isn't. They're not operating as charities, you know.
So what if the majority of the instructors have no airline flying experience. Name me an FTO who employs only ex airline personnel and then give me a reason why it's so important that this should be the case.
I am in no way stating that PTC is the be-all-and-end-all when it comes to commercial flight training, but for pity's sake if you must slag them off, do it for reasons of poor training or over-pricing or whatever you believe they are actually guilty of and which would adversely affect a person training with them. And make sure you've got your facts right.
