Come on Mr Rudi Dekkers...We all know that you look at these post's, because of the quick response you wrote to the first post written by DownIn3Green...So I put it to you that all these rumours are true, as we have not heard a whimper out of you since your one and only post..
What is happening ?
Are your aircraft safe ?
If you owe money,how does this effect the students (Because it looks like it does affect them these days)?
How many companies do you Own ?
Are these companies connected ? and if so, in what way i.e. If one goes down do they all go down ?
Please feel free to answer the above and more which you may think is relevant, and I am sure there will be many more from other wannabes, as you know the Truth is out there so please no more fake Tel Numbers or anything else which is fake or made up come to that.
I will look forward to your reply....

Well Query - i am one one of the students left in Florida by SFT. The truth is that there is fourteen students that have lost between $7000 - $10000.
What we have been told is that Rudy never received the full amount from SFT and he "honoured our accounts" the amount that he should have received?? Now we pay him direct.
All we received was a fax from SFT stating there postition, and what hopes they had to sort the 'cash flow problem out'. If anyone has any advice on other schools please leave a email address and i will contact them. Many thanks SFT Survivor.

Gropund effect -
Sorry to hear about your losses -
Can you clarify what you meant -
1.You say that you all lost between 7-10K.
2. Then you say that Rudy is honouring your accounts with what you had paid SFT.
3.Then you say you are paying him direct.
My question is, when you say that Rudy is honouring your account, did he credit your accounts with the 7-10K?

Good Call, Facts,
Not to diss you further, Ground, if in fact you are from the UK, shouldn't you be using "The Queen's English" and grammar, rather than the stilted, broken style of the member "Rudi Dekkers" towards the beginning of this thread?
On another note, someone contacted me today on behalf of a student of SFT/Ambassador.
This person tried to explain the situation, however I didn't quite understand what they were trying to say. In any case I told this person to have the student contact me directly and we could discuss the situation over a cold one somewhere in Naples over the weekend.
I hope they do, because Naples is a wonderful place to live, and a great place to fly. There are other schools here, and as posted here before, one owner is more than willing to help, which knowing his reputation around the field, (he's been here for a long time) he probably will help where he can.
So maybe things aren't as dark as they seem.

Lets give Ground-effect a chance, he maybe one of the 14 students from SFT, the only really way to find out is, if someone knows one of the 14 and ask them and see if there is an SFT student named Rudi....
Also i did a search on the 941-261-9141 Mr Dekkers left for every one to call, and it turns out to be a private number under another name which wont say but its not Frank stetson.....and its nothing to with a flight shop nor anywhere near the airport.

As I said above, Iexpect (hope) this individual from SFT/Ambassador will contact me, and if so, I will prob get an answer to 900B's question.
However, my aim in initiating this thread was and remains to assist students in making an educated choice.
No one should have to mortgage their house to line Ambassador or it's owners pockets.
Here's another question: Does a felony conviction cause one to lose their "Green Card" status? Maybe the US INS would be interested in this thread?

Query,
I have good news update for you. Spitfire747 just completed his night rating with a week to spare before his flight back to England.
Have a great weekend,

I was well aware of the correct number been give out, my point was to confirm that the number had nothing to do with the person Mr Dekkers had posted for people to call and more importantly to show people that this person has a trail of lies and deception. Its only a matter of time before it catchs up with Mr Dekkers.

My suggestion would be to call the Collier County Airport Authority and register any complaints you may have with Rudi Dekkers or Ambassador Airways.
The number is +1 941 642 7878. This is the controlling body of the Naples Airport Authority, and actually holds public hearings regarding airport business on a regular basis.
The dates and times of the meetings can be found by calling that number, and public speakers (regardless of the status of the person speaking) are welcome.
The Collier County Airport Authority is above the Naples Airport Authority, if that makes any sense.
Anyway...go for it guys...get up and speak your mind at the next meeting!!!

So what would the County Airport Board care whether Ambassador Airways is ripping students off or not?
Should not the persons concerned see about taking the flying school to the local magistrate?
I have heard this is quite easy to do in America.
