Considering your disgraceful manners and pointless foul language I should really ignore your post. However you have emphasised the confusion caused by a new entry into the Bournemouth FTO scene and the expansion of two others, so I shall attempt to clarify what each FTO does. I will try to make the post purely factual so as not to fall foul of advertising rules, but I know more about BCFT simply because I work for them, and I cannot guarantee accuracy of most of this information - ask the schools themselves.
Bournemouth Commercial Flight Training Centre
Owned by Bournemouth Flying Club Ltd.
Bought most assets of SFT, groundschool instructors all ex-SFT, no SFT management involvement
Full-time/evening PPL groundschool
Full-time ATPL groundschool from June (distance learning - soon!)
Groundschool brush-ups/tuition as required
PPL
IMC/Multi/night ratings & all normal club flying
CPL
IR
FIR
FIC/IRI - basically any flight instructor rating, as the CFI is highly qualified to teach instructors
ETA/GTS/STS
Separate, co-operating small companies
No involvement from PPSC senior management
Groundschool brush-ups/tuition
Possibly ATPL distance learning now or future
Simulator training (I think on a PA-44 Seminole, purchased from SFT)
FIR/FIC/IRI - various instructor ratings, again well-qualified instructor instructors!
Possibly CPL and IR - check with ETA
Professional Air Training (forgive me if I have the name wrong - Proflight callsigns
)
Little change to this one
As far as I know just
CPL
IR
Night/multi?
Cabair
This does involve Colin Green, ex-MD SFT. However I assume he is just an employee of Cabair, not a director.
As far as I know
CPL

For everyone else, here are some facts about the new fto.
Its called the European Flight Training Academy and is owned by CABAIR. They will be using the old SFT fleet with some additions. Courses on offer include modular ATPL and some others. At the moment they are using an office in Neales Interiors but will be moving to a new building shortly.

I would like to update you on your last post with regard to ETA/STS/GTS We are approved from PPL to CPL to ATPL to IRE/CRE. and FIC GTS so far has 100per cent first time passes for IR subjects. Hope you now have a better idea as to what we do .
