Results tables are out there in the public domain for all schools including fee paying. There's more information on the quality of kindergartens than UK training establishments.
By far the most reprehensible and disgraceful aspect of UK FTO's is their collective, sullen refusal, along with the authority, to publish written and practical exam results. The feeble justifications regularly paraded out by the schools are simply an embarrassment and normally revolve around having little or no control of the quality of their intake. There's a terrible silence when that argument is reworded on their behalf - so what you're saying is you take anyone who can pay? The fact remains I can look up the results for Eton and compare them with any inner city comprehensive. The FTO's excuses are fatuous.
Strangely enough, it's your absolute right to read the statistics on every UK operators' flight schedules and performance. However, there's no way you are allowed to make an considered judgement before shelling out thousands on training. Seeing as the CAA have established the principle of users being able to view performance surely a wannabee with a reasonable legal or journalistic background and a working knowledge of the freedom of information byways could really set the cat amongst the pigeons
They are taking your money but refuse to show you their past performance in context, set against the rest of the industry - an egregious luxury real, professional aviation isn't allowed.
