I've just been to the AAG website and had a look at their "Cadet Info Pack".
A very interesting "info pack" indeed.... with an appealing sales pitch and it begins with a true statement:

"The job of an airline pilot is probably one of the most prestigious, glamorous and exciting in the world.

It is a highly rated and adventurous career choice allowing you the opportunity to travel around the world to places most people only dream about. It is a challenging, dynamic and demanding job but undoubtedly very rewarding."

Followed by this

"Becoming an airline pilot is a dream many young people have."

and this

"For most it remains just that; but for you it could be a reality."

(Red colour requires maximum attention!!)

Yes, all these statements are true, but all those considering to spend their money at AAG, should think carefully about the strong chance that their dream might turn into a REAL nightmare. As explained in my last post.

If the past experience of many is not taken into consideration and the candidates still enroll into the AAG MPL, make sure that a one sided contract is not signed. Have written guarantees that the published course program is followed in the advertised time span, that there will be a secure line training with an established airline and, most importantly, a guarantee that, failing the previous items, AAG will provide a CPL/IR/TR.

This is what saved some current AAG MPL trained pilots from a life of misery.

Others are still suffering after spending tens of thousands (into the hundreds) of USD for the dream that turned into a nightmare.

Until those wrongs are made right......
