I just received this letter form them, they are really the most expensive TR in Europe. And they are not good enough because a friend of mine went there and he didn`t like it at all. The installations are not good, I don't know how they can charge that much in a country where the level is so low. Just to give you a stamp of TR B737 which has got no value without flying hours.
This time I will only ask a few things - what kind of installations are you talking about? Is this about the CAE simulators or anything else?TR price - BT and accomodation in Vilnius and Brussels included. You may have missed this part
Sorry, but I tend not to like unreasonable posts

I advised you previously guys..don't go there!!!!
All Bull****!
too expansive, lack of instrution and professionality!!
Thant's it...sounds good
Sirjus I think the days the BAA mention for accomodation are too much respect of the level of live in Vilnius, second guys don't expect a real 4 stars hotel, because it not so...very very low category! and People at the reception very cold and never smiling...not helpfull for your staying!!

Bedix,
a colleague has told me about your friend's bad experience. I was sorry to hear about that and would be really pi**ed if that happened to me too.
Again, I appreciate that you notify others about a bad situation, but agree, it is a little unfair to spread hate (I do not know how to call it correctly) if you yourself haven't been at BAA. The academy is not the cheapest but I would disagree that it is the most expensive. And if you are not happy with anything, first you should say it directly to us, then spread the word. Not giving a chance to improve is simply unfair. Write me a PM if you don't want to show your name, and I will tell what you told me to the management.
As for the hotel, it is one of the easier things to change - you complain and we will just find another one. Maybe after having a bad visit you will never come again, but at least you would make matters better for upcoming students.
Also, about our management. They are a very dedicated bunch of people always trying to take care of their students. If nobody tells anybody about the instructors, facilities, apart from friends and on Pprune, how can we know if it is not up to our expectations, let alone students' in reality?
And if you get an all inclusive price, just ask for bare TR price. You can arrange the living, transportation, BT, LT and other stuff by yourselves, this will not make you a worse student or something.
Bedix, I will write you a PM (no worries, I don't intend to kill you or spread hate to companies or something like that), I want to ask you a few things personally, hope you reply.
Let me finish with one thing: we can't make everybody 100% satisfied, but let us try, god darn it

Hi!
Since my last message on this post I went to BAA did my type rating and you guys are still here.
I really enjoyed my time in BAA.
Is it cheap? Depends on the rating and type, but remember, you pay peanuts you get monkeys. But do you really want a monkey by your back on a FFS?
We were a group of 4 pilots for the type on the bus and did it well.
Can't say it was easy, we worked hard every single day, but at the end it turned out to be very good for us.
Sure not every thing is/was perfect, we found some gaps on the program, but it was related with their lack of know-how with the new sim. For example the paper-tiger... we didn't like, and we told them our opinion and they gave us the option to do the mock-up on the sim (without motion) when the sim was free so we can practice better, rather than being sited on a class room chair and doing the mock-up on the paper-tiger.
Sure the Hotel isn't a 5* hotel, but who cares?! Your not on leisure... I personally didn't dislike, and believe me I've been on a lot of 5* Hotels.
Baltic is growing fast and they still give personal attention to their client relation.
Not many TRTO's have their own SIM, BAA its not like Cockpit4U, GTA, RJ, SFC...that use the sim's from others...
But this is my opinion and my experience.
You can watch the videos from our interview on youtube and suit your self's.
Cheers!

Just reinforcing what JMSA Pilot said,
I will not speak about my experience in Lithuania (country wise), hotels this and that or about what I did while I was there. (if you want to go to a 5* hotel, tell them they'll get it for you and it will be just has expensive has a 5* hotel anywhere in the world).
I stayed at a 3* hotel and it was cheap, clean and overall good, I didn't have a kitchen which was the thing that I wished several times I did, but I'll just talk about what matters.
I´ve done my A320 TR at Baltic Aviation Academy recently, and basically I have no bad things to say about them. Sure there is space for some improvements, but where can you get anything that is perfect right away the first time you do it?
The mock-ups could've been virtual instead of the paper ones, we should've had more time to use them, but from another point of view great CBT's, Category D simulator, staff that really cares about you and your opinions (amazing staff, if you are reading this, THANK YOU AUSRA!!), good, proficient instructors in class has well has in the simulator, people that if you are willing to work and progress in your career, will give you tons of important information and tips (things that you can only learn with years of experience).
It was hard work, we had to study hard and do our part, but in the long run I am happy that I did it with Baltic.

Dear Bedix, I don't know anything about you, I know of the guy you wrote had bad experience with us and SPA. If the guy is you - apologies to you. Well there still remains a chance I might have mixed somebody, but anyhow what difference does it make.
So, my apologies if I caused any emotions for anyone of you. If anybody has any questions - PM, but on this thread - I'm done.
Sayonara and good luck

I don't know ---Sirijus , really, I'm not based myself just at words even from my collegues, ..you get wrong information! and even you think Am I what I'm not!
Last, I went in BAA and I can tell You how is!
and I took a chance to see also Kaunas and Lithuanian Girls and eat a Lithuanian pink soup!.....
I could repeat till the end that your price are too much expensive, I show you and to all the emails reporting the prices...and if you are finding some Trto more expansive than yours...please, put the names..I wanna see!
Most important, You asked me for the names, I don't like to do names, but be warned, if you are some manager, or director, that a lot of People mix flying with drinking!...JAA is JAA the same rule should be applied to BAA pilot airline staff.
I know that some can change hotel and use other mean of transportation...but you are not replying me correctly at what i said....
I said that according to you in these days of TR...the cost of accomodation is 700 euro...too much
for Lithuanian life style...and is according the TR cost I think
This is my Opinion..this is what i saw !

Baltic Aviation Academy
Hello guys,
I am one of the 4th pilots who have maked the A320 Type Rating at Baltic Aviation Academy. I must admit that I am very satisfied with that.
For sure we don't have Miami beaches but it is very nice. I can say that at Balticaa, the personnel, instructors, employees, everyone are very nice and kind.
About the Training, as all Type Ratings, we had to study a lot but that's not a problem because we were here for that and we had all support and instructors help at any time.
The Mock-ups are not electronic but I think there are thinking in changing that, but all the information are there.
For those who are thinking in Type Ratings, I recomend Baltic Aviation Academy and about Acommodation, I recomend looking for renting a house(if you are more than 1) because in this way you can cook, the food is cheap, what is very nice .
Anyway Thank you BAA

French Pilot have you seen the movie "Love Story"?
The same feeling I felt right now when I read your post.
Your post demostrates that you are doing nothing in your home after you did your TR with them.
Can I ask you a secret question? Do you have double nick?
Guys, take care of this company.
When they have a lot of comercial in forums, it means that they are really bad.

22 000 Eur type rating 
6 000 Eur Line, conversion training
8 000 Eur Base training
24 000 Eur BH500 (that means 500 block hours, pay to fly)
Total 60.000 EUR !!! You have got to be crazy to agree to this.
This is all stated in the e-mail from BAA.
Do the type rating some where else! (and FYI the A320 sim was at least last time I heard not approved from EASA).
15 000 EUR for Type rating and 6500 EUR for Base training is what you should be paying. That is if you should be paying for it at all.
Open your eyes people!

Hello Sirijus,
No problem for me, and i never worked for SPA (small planet airlines).
We are here to speak and put information and suggest the best!
So on, I'm on of the person that never bought a TR and I'll never pay yo fly( TO WORK)..said that...I really emotionated like CItadiondos...oh all this guys they fall in love with BAA
...ROMANTIC......all new posters!!
I just wanna say that is not good to sell BULL**** to the new guys and make a big propaganda like You are doing with all this people!!!
I'm not confused between AviationCV and BAA (BALTIC AVIATION ACADEMY)...I'm talking about BAA ,Dariaus ir Girėno str. 21
LT-02189, Vilnius, Lithuania
As i said and I repeat again and again and as said from someone before, your PRICES ARE TO HIGH!!!
People i not gonna list here all the providers and Professionist TRTO..but the range of the price is really below BAA.
TR A320-B737 approx.12.500-15.000 plus BT(6t&go) 6.000-7.500.
compare:
Other TRTO: TR+BT= approx. 18.000 to max 20.000 Euro
and BAA: TR+BT= 20.500+ 8000= Tot. 28,500 Euro
Cheers

I promised to stay away, but I have to tell one thing before I go.
Please, people, do not mix Aviation CV and Balticaa.
These are prices from AviationCV, they train their students with us, but offer more than papers and hours. For more information try [email protected] . Also discussion about them has started in another thread. And for BAA prices try [email protected]
See you

If you want professional people, don't contact them.
Never trust companies who only seek free publicity "by the face".
I contacted with 4 companies:
3 of them kindly gave me the information.
BAA just attacks me every day, every morning with an e-mail.
They are desperate.

Citationdos, let me say that you are funny! You say that I am doing nothing but I am not the one who are watching movies.
In second, let me ask you one question: Are you with any type Rating ou working at this moment?
To finish this conversation, don't talk about things that you don't know, just because you don't have nothing else to do.

Basically this company has got people who are not qualificated. They seem like yellow press.
Just give them your email and you will throw away your computer from the quantity of bullsh*t you will get from them.
One of the stupid questions: how many hours do you have?
When did you get your license?
I ask them why they were asking me that since I was only asking for the price, and they told me that the price depended on the answer of those 2 questions...
