There is no doubt that these guys sell, but then that’s probably smart isn’t it?? Are they really mis-representing themselves?I’m not so sure they are.Aren’t they simply suggesting come here get a licence, then come instructing and build your hours and the rest is up to you.It’s a sausage factory but then given the dynamics of the industry doesn’t this company just fill an obvious need…. After all isn't that one of the principle headline in any commercial job advert...hours ??
These guys have managed to build recent and on-going business off a new type (the G2) and better for them with leased machines from an importer.They recognised the Cabri G2 as a way forward arguably 2 years before the rest of the training organisations and now they recognise that funding is a barrier, and always has been, but have identified some liquidity and are breaking into it via the educational element.
It doesn't matter if its real or doing a good thing for future pilots... wake up its doing good things for their own P&L!
The self-fuelling instruction and the little pipeline contract they have allied to the scholarship programs seem to be obvious business and actually I’m a little surprised in mid-2014 no other school is copying the model because there don’t seem huge barriers to do so.
Are the pilots getting rich?Of course not, even the guy doing 500hrs per year at £35 per hour is still just existing but then one suspects he was always more interested in the 500hrs in his log book than the £17500 yearly pay – at least at this stage in his life.
The guy making the real money is the one doing all the examining… that is really nice business.
