It's been proven in a previous thread what this FTO are capable and how underhanded management are there.

One of the Mods proved this by posting that CAA had been in contact and told pprune that they would buy one years advertising if pprune deleted the CAA thread!

Also it was posted by mods that all the new posts in the CAA thread defending the FTO were from the same IP address which basically means the same PC!

If this organisation is prepared to carry on in this unprofessional manner what respect is a HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL industry to have for this crowd! Management and Pilots working in the airlines read these forums also and will form their own judgement!



If they are capable of trying to buy their way out of a simple problem on a forum like this, what other issues do they try to buy themselves out of. If that is their mentality then it potentially opens a can of worms!

The most remarkable issue is the lack of professionalism from this organisation seen on a previous CAA threat when CAA LEGAL (Eddie Russell) threatened Legal action for so called Criminal Damage! CAA LEGAL was posted over 5 days after the thread had last been posted on which brought the thread back to the lime light! Then there were all the new PLANTS from the same IP address posting comments that they were emailing students training with CAA at the moment and they were all "completely or overly satisfied"! This IP was an IP in the FTO!!!! All these planted posts rose the issues with CAA to the top of the threads again which digs up all the negativity about CAA again!

If management there had any level of common sense they would refrain from posting any comments here on this site and in Damage Limitation should also ask their students to refrain from getting involved in debates about how perfect CAA are and then resorting to personal attacks this simple carries the debate on and keeps the thread HIGHLIGHTED.


Every time they post here about how perfect they are and the claims they have made it starts a whole debate again which results in more damage to an already damages reputation.

PS - May be the extra 45K they take in on every student fee is being saved to set the infamous aerobatic team!

You say that you are in Northern Ireland, have a look at:
Ulster Flying Club - Home, based at Newtownards, County Down.
No commercial training, but very good at private level.
Can cover PPL, Night, and hours building.
Very new fleet of C172 including Garmin1000 models.

What is PTC?

I have been following this thread and am puzzled by references to the above abbreviation, would some kind soul please enlighten me as to what the abbreviation means? I entered it into the search box on the forum and PPrune had apparantly never heard of it.

PTC means Pilot Training College (Of Ireland). Anyone thinking of training in Ireland should consider National Flight Centre, Weston Airport. National Flight Centre - Home they are a really good school.

They removed the post themselves having also tried to get the whole thread removed using a year's proposed advertising on PPRuNe as leverage.

I suspect you can work out for yourselves our reaction to that.

It's also been great seeing the agrarian revolution in action with plants sprouting in abundance. Many of you have spotted it yourself - inept naivety but bless anyway.

My particular favourite was this far more 'sophisticated' attempt suggesting independence of thought and opinion:

Quote:
"I don’t mean to minimize what you have went through but I’m in regular mail contact with some of the lads over there."
Pity it was sent from the same IP address in Canada as the other happy new sign ups.

Email? Couldn't they just talk to each other?

Believe me guys, the above is nothing compared to other antics I've heard about. All will be coming out shortly in a national newspaper, I'll post the article as soon as its printed.

and possibly sticky the thread for a bit?
Good idea, how does one go about doing that?
I promise I'll keep everything on the proper thread after this....
