If you look at what I and BAE student have posted you are probably pretty close to the facts. The place works, the instruction is good but some (and I stress SOME) of the managers are failing to impress. The Head of Training is moving to a new post - so lets see what the new guy is like when he arrives.
However, don't believe to doom merchants - and also remember that while most students are adults who behave like adults and work hard, there are some imature trainees whobehave like kids, don't put any effort in and deserve to be treated like kids because they hold the rest back.
I prefer the term trainees, by the way - as used by the airlines themselves, because students are smelly, lazy, dope smoking, scroungers in the opinion of most taxpayers!!!
