Well it looks like those 3 students didn't start in March. Or April for that matter. What a surprise...

Six months without a reply on this thread,

Whats the news with CAA?

Since they don't appear to have any new students comming, Will CAA be able to pay Algonquin Flight School the fees for the students that are still in North Bay?

Can the students that spoke so highly of CAA in the past, post a reply.

Which Airline are you working at?

Unhappy AFC RIP

Algonquin Flight Centre has folded due to financial problems, last flight schedule was 28th October. The office is being cleared out and the planes made ready for sale. It is a great shame, the school, instructors and training programs were always great, all the bad press was associated with those charletons at PRI/CAA. I think the school should have worked harder to market itself instead of relying on the incoming new students from the PRI/CAA pyramid scheme, which was always a ticking time bomb.

Despite all the bad press PRI/CAA have been getting on here that's a really big shame about the flight school. I always had a lot of time for the AFC guys. Pity

Sad News

I feel very bad for any students that may have been there!

Unfortunately if you put in place a CEO who is more interested in promoting his own EGO and unprofessionalism (as seen on various threads here via the username CAA LEGAL) than actually running a business this is what happens.

I think the day Algonquinn decided to associate itself with PRI - CAA - (never knew what to call them they changed name too much) was the day that their reputation was tarnished and faith doomed. Its such a pity because I believe that they had been quite a good training facility prior to the association with said company.

Well it's a pity about the school. Did anyone see the article in the Sunday World at the weekend? Diarmuid O Riordan got a total roasting. Looks like there are a lot of angry students out there. Have legal proceedings been issued against him or what? Is he still floating around North Bay? Can he be extradited if there are legal proceedings against him?
