facts
@RPC000
You are absolutely correct that CA/AAG provides approved instructors by the CAAP for the type rating course on the A320. And that its just a machine.
That's about as factual and correct as you will get in that matter.
TARAS B couldn't have explained the rest what you have said better than anyone else.
As I recall CA/AAG had to send their cadets to Airbus in France to do their A320 type rating not to long ago. To their surprise of course as CA/AAG did not explain to them initially that they wouldn't be able to do their type rating in Clark. As I recall also Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong have been utilized by CA/AAG to do the type rating training also.
Seems like the company is everywhere except where its suppose to be. Of course this does not only pump the price up considerably, it also always has additional unforeseen costs for the cadet to incur...
As for the quality you are stating a lot can be said about that at this moment. Especially with the new HOT and hes SOP's, but that's a completely different topic.
So RPC000, instead of exerting your efforts and energy here with a futile pissing match (and no you cant do it like the big boys) why not focus your concerns to all those cadets that have not made it into an airline yet but have trusted the promises made by CA/AAG.
Only then can CA/AAG re-branding strategy really work for you and the company.
