With regards to the old aircraft that QAC uses mixture of PA28, PA34s and DA42 apart from the DA 42 yeah they might be old body wise but the maintainance is fantastic. Yeah I heard that their operations is limited to ISA+ 30 as the performance is markedly reduced <300 fpm. ROC.
With regards to DAE I heard they are going under unfortunetly. As I wanted to learn to fly their. Nice equipment they got but a shame. oh well.

Way back when I did my training folks were careful with their pennies, they were hard won as many were not born with the proverbial silver spoon. Research was done on any potential school to try to choose right, to try to find a good one that wouldn't take your money and run, to pick the one that had a proven track record of turning out student pilots who would be ready to take on the next phase of their airline careers. It seems like DAE and others like them scrutinised you much harder than you scrutinised them, that was one of their great deceptions, fooling prospective students into thinking that they were the 'chosen ones'.
For those reading this who intend to fly, ignore the brochures and fancy pictures as they are only marketing. Marketing is a cheap and despicable career of the uneducated, there is no substitute for reputation in this business and those who fall for glossy brochures will be sorely disappointed.
Obviously I won't tout any school by name but there are many good ones out there just...
DO YOUR RESEARCH!
Hustle on!

Progress of the Students
Most of the students at DAEFA had little to no flight time and minus a few who had to repeat the ground school course a few times because DAEFA wasn't ready for them to move on, the real reason, they should have little to no issue moving into to an MPL course. The only difference is that they will have a bit of a base to work off of when they get there. I know a few of the ground courses they had started were pretty descent, all be it under prepared, but the instructors themselves made it work as well as they could.
