Well the cadet scored 12 out of 35 in his compass scores when Epst recommends minimum of 24 out of 35. This cadet was well below the limit and actually failed the screening test but was instead issued a letter that he successfully completed the pilot assessment test. He got a score of 1 out of 7 in two sections which strongly indicated that he will face problems in his core flying and even if he put in his best effort he will not be able to complete his core flying in 70 hours.
Compass scores are relevant because the cadet did do well in his ground school but could not fly as predicted by compass and thus wasted 2 years and DH 300,000 ++ Alpha did play with this cadets time and cheated him of his money. Would you like to be in his shoes. He did not lack motivation or the right attitude and was better than his mates in ground school but lacked the physical skills or the aptitude to become a pilot which came across clearly in his compass scores. Alpha should not have taken him but they did not care since they just were interested in getting his money. If he was aware of his compass score do you think he would have joined Alpha. He came to know about his pathetic compass score after one year when he had finished his ground school and started his core flying.
Alpha not only enrolled him but indicated by issuing the letter that he had the ability to become a pilot contrary to his scores. This is misleading and incorrect since you cannot expect the candidate or his parents to understand the pilot selection system. Cadets should be able to trust the advice of the flying school and for sure i warn cadets not to make the mistake of joining Alpha and trusting Alpha. Why have a sham selection process just take in anyone who walks through your door.
Infact i will go a step further and say compass tool which is used successfully around the world is unethically being used by Alpha.
