There are people just bounced out of this "Flight School" that wish they had seen this before.

They are scum. They have just used an entire intake of students to pay for a new fleet of aircraft and then told most of them they will never be pilots, forcing them out.

A good charge was $750 for a half day first aid course. Everyone who already had a valid first aid certificate already was told it is worthless for Aviation. It was a bog standard level 2 first aid course, that anywhere else would cost max $100.

At least one student who was already at PPL level when he started and was the best in the class was forced out and told he would never be a pilot. He is now that distraught and stressed by it all that he will now no longer be a pilot and has gone into a different field altogether.

Now while i understand that its never been an easy profession to get into (And it shouldnt) not everyone that goes into this has money to burn and are trying to follow a dream. Some people fight hard and do what they can only to have the goals shifted on them constantly and then eventually have the rug snatched out from underneath them entirely.
