dude, what are you talking about? I was sat in the interview with them in exeter where 3 people interviewed me, 2 of them from PTC to join PTC in June. 4 people were offered the job and started but PTC now went bust...

if you want I can show you the emails from Flybe dated April 2012

There were indeed Flybe cadets training at PTC, who have now switched to CAE-OAA.

I suppose to the un-informed PTC, FTC, CTC all sound the same eh?
Apparently so - by FTC I presume you mean FTEJerez ?

It's a sad statement of Irish literacy skills, which are some of the worst in the developed world. Visit boards.ie and wincingly read plenty of similar examples from "educated" Irish adults.

G-RICH

‘Back in the day’ the Edgeworth tribe was so unfeasibly large that is allowed each and every great aunt, seventh cousin and assorted hangar-on to register as bona fide Pprune members
(amazing how few of them are around now that the walls of the sh**thouse have blown apart)

If you’re running short of chuckles trawl through some of the historic PTC threads.
All inconvenient negativity is countered by random ‘college’ members describing their journey from spotted youth to square-cut ATP in terms of transcendent religious experience.
Typically each of these contributors has only a handful of previous posts – with an almost uncanny similarity of writing style to the great Captain himself.

On a more serious note, there was a very valid point made in a previous post regarding the influence of PTC’s advertising budget on the moderation of this website.
Certainly there was a bias in moderation here by the suppression of adverse publicity when the PTC scam was at its height.

There were many who attempted to raise a warning flag on the Edgeworth’s operation only to have an eraser rubbed through their efforts.
Perhaps the culpability of Pprune as the ‘media’ should be questioned a little further in this case.

McNulty,

There’s no need to scratch for ‘new material’ on Edgeworth.
The accumulations of his stinking heap should last everyone a lifetime – and then some.
It should be sufficient to ask the question that so many in Ireland are asking about so many un-convicted criminals: Why is he not behind bars?

Mike Edgeworth

I have lost money with PTC, anyone that can give me an exact location of this immoral, unintelligent man, I will be most grateful.

If you would also like a reward, I will happily give a small contribution.

Hey! That’ll be great news for the ‘Nobs’ at Ccastle PPRuNe.

When Air Commodore Edgeworth’s bag ‘o’ stolen bills lands on the advertising desk he’ll be buying the finest and most ‘favourable’ moderation that money can buy – yet again!

It’s probably best not to give too much credence to this rumour.
After all, no ‘state authority’ would be dumb and stupid enough to re-issue a training ticket to the likes of this crim.

Not even the IAA would be moroni....Oh NO! wait a minute

Liquidation????

I was going to post this piece below from The Irish Times dated Wed 26th Sept,as it is a straight forward piece of factual reporting but I have since heard through the electronic jungle drums that they may have gone into liquidation..can anyone substantiate this?
I did hear that there was ground school going on recently (Not flying)and that 'Elvis' apparently had not left the building being safely ensconsed
in 'PTC' towers at the airport business park.

Here is the link to Wednesdays report

Extension granted to pilot school examiner - The Irish Times - Wed, Sep 26, 2012

Anyone any ideas?

Looks to me as if they are trying to get all the students wiped off so they can start again without having to get all the approvals setup.

So it looks like if he gets away with it the students are in for a right raping.

"Hopelessly insolvent" according to the Indo. Now take it with a grain of salt as it really should be a red top as its a rag.

PTC are still banging on doors trying to drum up business, but I'm curious, what license are they operating under? I thought that the IAA pulled their approvals?

And on and on this farce continues... new company, same criminals running it out of the same building, and a nice clean slate with no debts and no recourse for students who were robbed... because that was a different company that did that, not us, we only just opened our doors...

100k sterling for a course in Jordan? Being run by a fake captain who never even achieved a basic MEIR?

Another scam and disaster waiting to happen unfortunately.
