Private cabin crew training companies - avoid like the plague - a big con
I agree - I was badly conned out of a lot of money by one such company and to date the only refund that I have recieved was a partial refund from BA for my return flights from MAN - LHR - while I may suspect that my current retail employer may have blocked it in some way as they were reluctant to give me time off by changing my holiday dates to attend the course, the company said they went bust with the credit crunch but I've had to give up on wanting to become cabin crew as a result of this and wait until after I retire in another 25+ years
