Redcliffe Flight Training has been successfully taken to court for advertising GA training, and selling Access Airshare memberships based on this claim, all while not having an AOC. Some people might remember my first few posts about the matter when it first happened.
So far CASA have done nothing about it. When I spoke to them I was told that while RFT has breached legislation, taking the matter to court usually always fails, and that was the extent of CASA's help. So if you're in the same boat as me, I wouldn't waste your time with them. (Casa has since decided to award RFT and AOC, even after receiving several complaints about the matter
.
If you are an ex-student of RFT, and are unhappy about the fact that you were sold an Access Airshare membership on the basis that GA training was available, between 28/02/2010 to November 2011, go to QCAT.
Lodge the matter with the Queensland Civil Administrative Tribunal.You will need to provide evidence that RFT advertised GA training, things like brochures, website printouts, and anything at all from RFT that says that GA training is available. After that it's pretty simple, just show how much you paid and how many hours you flew and it's a pretty straight forward affair. If you need any help or direction, please inbox me.
The process is a little lengthy, but completely worth it.
