Response to all interested PPRUNERS
Plus a response to the personal threat that I received from SCROGGS (the moderator??)
I feel that it is necessary to clarify my earlier post on this thread.
I would like to apologise for what is clearly a fundamental error in my post.
I thought that I was posting on the Professional Pilots RUMOR Network, not the Professional Pilots GUARANTEED FACT Network!( I'll change the settings in my favorites list!)
It's interesting that so many people are mentioning one particular training organization. I didn't mention any! - Have you heard a rumor?
You will see from the number of posts that I have submitted that I am not one for sitting day after day in front of my computer submitting posts just for the hell of it.
On this occasion I was responding to somebody's enquiry about 4Forces. On that same day I had heard a RUMOR, yes a RUMOR from two quite unconnected sources that another organization in the Bournemouth area were having problems. I was not offered any further detail, THEY WERE RUMORS!! However, quite a coincidence that I should hear both of them on the same day and from totally unconnected sources. I mentioned this in my 4Forces post to see if it provoked a response from any other people that may have also heard something. IT DID! The very next post!
The subject of trainee pilots potentially losing money through no fault of their own is one that is very close to my heart as someone who in my dim and distant past paid up front for a full course of flight training and lost it all due to the overnight disappearance of the FTO (That was 20 years ago) it took me 10 years to recover from that experience.
Let me clarify my posting.
It was a RUMOR that I heard-NOTHING MORE.
I have no detail (at this time) but if I subsiquently do, I will advise you.
If anybody else can clarify the situation one way or the other, I urge you to do so.
By the way, the organization that everybody else seems to be refering to is one that I have heard numerous complementary reports about and infact (despite the twisted imagination of SCROGGS) is an organization that I have reccommended to numerous students!
There were RUMORS about SECOAT and they went bust.
There were RUMORS about PPSC and they went bust.
There were RUMORS about 4Forces and they went bust.
There were RUMORS about MICROSOFT and they seem to be doing quite well!
A RUMOR is just that, A RUMOR! Sometimes they are accurate and sometimes they are not!
If the PPRUNE is no longer the forum for rumors then what is??
On a final note, I object to receiving personal threats in my E-Mail from SCROGGS (The Forum Moderator????) along with allegations that I might be trying to obtain some sort of pecuniary advantage from this issue!
SCROGGS, I have no idea who you are or what your background is, but you certainly appear to be a nasty piece of work. At least I have your threat and personal accusations confirmed in writing! See you soon!
