Flight Training Organisations, contract to provide you with flight training. They do not guarantee you employment, nor do they gurarantee you success. Whilst there are undoubtably some very disreputable businesses in this regard, they should be relatively easy to spot with a bit of careful research.

Unfortunetaly, there are enough people with half baked ideas, unrealistic "dreams" and woefully inadequate research, and access to substantial sums of cash, to keep these businesses alive.

The reputable businesses are fairly easy to find, and they exist in a industry that is heavy on regulation.

Regulation is never going to ensure your investment will bear fruit, nor will it ensure employment.

I am afraid the only regulation that would stand any hope of achieving what you suggest, is one where you regulated that only people who could demonstrate that they had properly researched, risk assesed, and safely fiscally qualified for training, would be allowed to enter. That would be impossible.

Training and qualifications place you in contention to apply for jobs, they do not mean you will be succesful, or at any competitive advantage for jobs that require specific higher levels of qualification and experience, or specific methods of qualification aquisition. If you convinced yourself that wasn't the case, or failed to research that reality to a sufficient degree, you have made a mistake.

I am also slightly confused. Eleven months ago you started this thread by advocating a fairly nonsensical pyramid scheme. You abandoned the subject within 2 days of starting it 11 months ago, and then today suddenly re-activated it, with an accompanying and seemingly non-sequiter private message. Am I missing something?

This is extraordinary stuff - I had a girlfriend who was all coy and cagey about the Hearts setup and how it would empower women by not letting men's cynicism ruin a good thing for the sisterhood.

When the sisterhood shafted those at the pyramid's base (quite legally, I hasten to add), she refused to pay back to those now in real hardship stating she 'had every right to behave like a man'.



We fell out.

How will the OP justify not paying back the losers at the end of this scam? People he had encouraged to join in the game, maybe personal friends, despite Whirly's wise words?

I despair. Bring on the giant asteroid.

How hard would it be to pass an act limiting all of the Flight Training Schools student population based on numbers of jobs available and existing license holders?
In addition to passing law, forcing the FTO's to provide these statistics prior to any form of training under the Supply of Goods and Services Act.
Why do you feel the need for legislation on this? Surely common sense tells you that there are very few jobs available? If you decide to train anyway that is your business!

Regulation of this industry is well overdue!
I remember a 16 year old, trying to tell me this just recently!

This thread was started over a year ago and contains the total postings that the OP has made on Pprune - with one exception which is the one that Bealzebub has copied in above.

It has been recently resurrected but offers no additional rational information. The only thing it has done is generate a complaint from the OP to Moderators about the negative responses he is seeing here.

Each poster is entitled to their own opinion. As Moderators we will ensure that happens without flaming or the like. To stop this thread going that way I am closing it.

The perfect model used to exist.

Airlines paid for the training and you were bonded until it was paid back..!
