I recall rumours, prior to CAE buying OAA, that students (the majority at that time were what would now be described as 'Whitetail') were encouraged to write favourable posts to counter some negativity expressed by others about the management of their training and other perceived problems. It was suggested that those who wrote favourably were rewarded with fast-track access to selection by a large UK operator who had previously had a long relationship with the school. Following course completion, a handful of these students were selected by that airline, in itself exceptionally unusual at that time. I understand though that this was nothing more than speculation.
The apparent absence of blogs from students of other ATO's (although they do exist, most are from former students either seeking their first job or a channel for their narcissism) is more likely due to a different style of marketing and probably an absence of encouragement (or perhaps a contractual constraint?) from the management; not all organisations enjoy the outward looking freedom of expression that apparently L3 CTS embraces - look at OAA marketing from ten years ago and compare it with that of L3 CTS today; there are remarkable similarities. One ATO is particularly visible in social media, consumer publications as well as recently, terrestrial television (coincidentally, a class of Oxford BA cadets some years ago were also followed through training on a BBC programme called 'Airshow' with a reference to the school in each episode they were shown - great publicity you might think...). It's more than likely due to a proactive and modern marketing policy driven by someone in the organisation that understands the influence of social media on the demographic of their potential clientele.

Small plane crash lands in Goodyear field - 3TV | CBS 5 Are you sure it was just weather related now with a touch of wake turbulence? Or maybe mechanical... if an aircraft manages to fall out of the sky.. who knows, its all speculation after all.
What's your point? Training accidents are more common than schools would like you to believe, but they do happen and for many different reasons. The airfield in question suffered more than it's fair share of student mishaps at one point I understand, and largely due to mishandling rather than mechanical or weather. Are you suggesting that is why they are apparently moving their operation to Sanford (an interesting place to locate a large fair weather flying operation by the way, and not least because of the Class C airspace and relative congestion in the Orlando area), or is it more likely that the company owns assets there and it makes more sense from a real estate perspective? If so, it could be short-sighted for reasons described earlier. You might as well start up an elementary flight school in New Zealand but with the obvious advantage of being closer to your home base.
