Thanks to all the people out there who advised me not to go
for AA as they were for real telling facts about AA (Nosegear,
AAIGUY, etc.) And no thanks to the phony characters who were
not telling me the truth (this does not include FAB), and you know
who you are!
Best of luck to all.....!

I can't comment on the quality of training.
However, I rang up to enquire about a type, and was told that the people that did a type on the A320 had a very good chance of being employed by Tiger or Value in Singapore as they had some good contacts there and the airlines thought it was good training.
When I spoke to the CP of Tiger, he laughed and assured me that there was no arrangement like that at all.
I cannot give so much money for someone for a type that lies to me on the very first contact. It says alot to me about his character. If he just uses other peoples sims, can we go direct to them?

Asiancanuck,
Thanks for keeping me aware of AA, my hat to you and
I appreciate your postings. Your postings were a wake up call
to everybody. I 've just been told by freind of mine that Better
Bus. Bearu now have had people reported AA to them and
people like yourselef and others are also expressing their anger
to MOT officials, MOT can not admit or deny what AA doing but
as far as they are concerned he is complying with the REQ...
but It won't be to far in the horizon before MOT will pull his
training license.
Mate.............best of luck on your court date and please
kick some ass!

court case and facilities
Please let us all know about your court case with me,you know the writ and the charges etc. I would expect that your absence of my request will confirm another gross fabrication again.
as for our facilities, I think the prospective student can come and see our facilities for himself. We are currently leasing 2500sq feet. ( a pretty big condo)
for anyone interested in more information on the graduates comments, please go to our website under testomonials

After reading all of the posts under active aerospace, I have to agree with the comment, that your better off going to the states if your interested in a 737-200 and 737-3,4,500 rating. Transport Canada does not allow conversion courses between the 737-200 to the 3,4,500 nor the 600 thru the NG. You must do a full course. I have recommended that anyone interested in the 3,4,500 seperatly or with the -200 should go to the states. We are qualified to do the 3,4,500 but use Alaskas or Boeings simulator for training. Since 9-11 we ( the students and instructors) cant get into the states because of the security restrictions. Regarding Busties comments being repeated. Bustie sent me a copy of a request from a fellow from Australia, he had responded to. Because of the bashing going on on pprune, I posted it and then he posted it,unaware that I had also done so. I got mine eventually removed.AAIGUY: I was not aware that you could get a 737-200 license on a FAA license then transfer it to your Canadian license with no other work ups. For your information, I do now reject applicants that I feel are going to be bothersome or unable to cut the course. I weed them out by insisting that they complete all of the internet training, memorization of the SOPs and other home work assigments. It becomes pretty clear to us what type of person we are dealing with in a short period of time. In the past- like other flight training schools- we took everybody and anybody.With the upsurge of business, we are very selective. We are still living with disgruntled pilots from 2 and 3 years ago that never made the grade or quit. I only wish that these guys would stop hiding behind an alias and come forward and spell out exactly what was it that Active Aerospace did to them, so I could intelligently reply to them on this forum, for everyone to view.LEFT WING Please tell me about my attitude. I have a thick skin. I would like to improve and Im sure you would.FHWANABEE we, like other instutitions have been thru a difficult time since 9-11. We strive to help individuals before and after training with us.Why- because we know that good press about us will bring in other students.That is why I am taking the time to answer all of your concerns and bring them to the forefront so that we can air the facts, not rumors. 2 years ago, we decided to employ individuals who work for the hiring airlines on a commission basis. Our thrust, is to find jobs for graduates and no cost to the graduate. By doing this, our successful placement of a graduate, brought good word of mouth communication and referrals. We NEVER ever indicate to anyone ( in our training contract or verbally) that we guarentee jobs for them. All we try to do is get your resume past all the others out there and hopefully get it to land it on the DFOs desk. Thats it. We have been very successful and hope to continue to expand our network ASIANCANUK why dont you air facts on exactly what we did wrong with your training-for everyone to view, and for me to comment. Telling this forum that you are going to sue me is very ambiguous and not very specific. I have not recieved any writs of summons, letters from your lawyers or any letters from yourself. Only slander. Please do us all a favor and stop hiding behind your mothers skirt(your alias) and come forward and tell it like it was. We are all waiting.....

Great post Walt.
From the heart, honest response.
It's nice to know you can actually take the comments dished out by some PPRuNers and respond to them, puts you in a category above most training institutions.
I'm sure its just as frustrating being a training institution as it is being an unemployed newly trained pilot after 9/11.
North America seems to have been the hardest place to be a working pilot since then, and looks like the hump isn't quite over.

to Mr Walt Lazaruk
When there is controversy, it's never all black or white.
Walt, you are not the crook some would like to cry it loud but you are not either the "extremely honest and professionnal person" Bustie (whoever or yourself maybe behind this) wants like us to believe.
You are just trying to get your cut betwen the trainee (paying customer) and its service providers (instructors from AirCan and sim owned by airlines but not yours). That's your business, period!
Not that there is anything wrong with that, since I met several of your trainees 2 years ago, and three of them that I kept in touch, made their training and passed at the price you agreed upon. Where it becomes a grey area (or pretty dark in this matter) it's when you insists having connections, contacts with other airlines to boost/help/connect your students with them, which is AN ABSOLUTE RUBBISH....
Your self promoted ad on this topic earlier on, made reference of resumes landing on DFO's desks because of your help. There is nothing further from the truth and that's when people start getting upset with you. The three I mentionned earlier, never heard from you afterwards, and even thought you were hiding from them. That a couple of students landed jobs is a fact, but not thanks to you. Nowhere do you help someone once they pass. There is nothing wrong with that in the absolute since you are just a training provider, but when you reckon having this power, then people will feel disapointed from your silence afterwards and some will post rants about yourself and your organization.
So yes, you have a spacious facility, with a great software for homestudy, knowledgable instructors, I reckon most of the students did pass at the end with no extra cost, but please get rid of those so called connections you have with airlines. I called their chief pilots, either they don't know you or they don't want to talk about you.
For all wannabees type trainees and to make a story short, go to Active if all you want is a ticket and then forget about it and don't expect any more help.
And then, save some more for EagleJet...
Say $45000 + living expenses for a year in Singapore (ouch!!...)...
But that's another topic...

Thank you for your response. I have cut and pasted your comments so that I may respond to them. Please find my response following yours

wl
Your comment indicates Im a broker. We are a bona fide training facility sanctioned by Transport Canada. Because there were no TRTOs in Canada,I lobbyed Ottawa for permission to do type ratings for individuals 6 years ago. Active Aerospace was granted permission to do type ratings in Canada under Transport Canadas General Aviation section. The Pacific Region has supported me throughout and I understand that AA is the only operator delivering type ratings to self sponsored individulas in Canada. We use Air Canadas simulators on a dry lease basis (I would not want to own my own simulators thankyou) and hire my fellow AC pilots I have known for some 30 years. (some are still employed and some are retired)

Again, we have someone like yourself that HEARD FROM A FRIEND. How can you comment about me or my organization from--I HEARD FROM A FRIEND basis. It does not lend to much creditability.

If you read my last email correctly, i said that we hire former graduates that are now working for hiring airlines. Thats the connection or contact. I also said we guarentee nothing, only our ability to try to get this persons resume to the right person.
brootmeeno
Your self promoted ad on this topic earlier on, made reference of resumes landing on DFO's desks because of your help.

As above, we do not claim to guarentee any resume to get to the DFOs desk, some do some dont. The object is to try and help the individual. Remember there is nothing in it for me. My time spent doing this is strictly free gratis. And yes, I make it very very clear at the start of the course that we will do our best. Thats it.
brootmeeno
There is nothing further from the truth and that's when people start getting upset with you.

Please remember, initial qualifications make a big difference. Let me ask you something, if I mailed out 10 resumes to our contacts and 3 of the 10 had under 1000 hours of flying time, which person would be considered first? Maybe it is the low time fellows that are complaining.
brootmeeno

All we can do is try to help them. If nothing comes of it, its because someone in the Airline does not like something about the person. We cannot predict what the outcome will be. We can only comment on past successes.

I have to say that I did the A320 type course with Walt a while ago and have not since got a job. However this os not something that I hold Active Aerospace or Walt accountable for in the slightest. I went into the type course with open eyes and a realistic, though maybe rosetinted view that having the type would put me higher on a hiring list than someone without.
Walt NEVER said that he could gaurntee anything to me.. All he said was that he had someone in the region looking out for opertunities for students. And I can honestly say that Walt has kept me updated throughout the time since I left with regards to any progress.
Getting a job is not easy and thats about the crux of the matter. It is not fair to blame a TRAINING PROVIDER because you cannot get a job immediatly after the course.
I am personally quite happy with the instruction I got from Walt and Dan the instructor at the time. I felt that I gained a fair bit of knowledge of the aircraft and I am a Licensed Aircraft Engineer with an A320 family endorsement.
The only thing I said at the time, and said directly to Walt that he could have done better, was to keep a couple of sets of Jeppessons in the office.
Please feel free to IM me with any questions should you have any. I also apologise for the spelling as English was never my strong point - especially being a Scotsman!

Thank you for your invitation, but I already visited you on the 3rd floor of the Avitat , and the classroom same floor, and the sim at the Air Canada facility so I know what I am talking about.
And if I base my opinion on some hearsay? You bet!!
I just talked to 3 of your students who all had the same tune: no more help from you whatsoever after the training, even though you still advertise on your web site that line training is available for your trainees, but none of them have heard /seen any of that.
And again, I never mentionned the "garantee" of having a job, but just the fact of having a different speech before and once you pocketed your $3000 deposit.
As for the B757 pilots "urgently require with 2500TT and 0 hours on type", I wonder what kind of company is still looking for them as it has been posted on your web site for a year.
And don't get mad at this post, I am not trying to destroy your business, my previous posts were well balanced, I may even be one of your customer in the future. What I disliked is the sales pitch and empty promises.

And don't get mad at this post, I am not trying to destroy your business, my previous posts were well balanced, I may even be one of your customer in the future. What I disliked is the sales pitch and empty promises.

I did the 757/767 Training at Active Aerospace, and I have to say that it went pretty well. I had a couple of instructors that either currently work at Air Canada, or have just recently retired, and I have to say that they bring to the training much knowledge and experience. Regarding the home study part of it, the instructors make themselves availible for any questions you have about SOP's or systems. Like anything, you get out of it what you put in.
The only really tough part is trying to pass the 3 Canadian written exams while you are studying systems and SOP's with the added pressure of a mounting hotel bill looming in the back of your mind should you screw up one of the exams.
After receiving my license from Transport Canada, I flew out to meet with Orient Thai Airlines to see if I could land a job, but I was told that I needed to have 757 stamped on my license. I only had 767 stamped on it, because that is all that was written on my application. Walt was very helpful in getting the new paperwork together so that I could get the license reissued with the 757 stamp on it as well. Now I am just waiting to hear if I will get hired or not.

One thing that people fail to undrestand is;
There is a diff between PPC and type rating.
you can get the type rating with just the sim however you need take off/Lanings and loft training for your PPC.
AA offers type rating thus you don't need actual airplane.
whomever hires you will do your ppc on type.
