If not wrong, i know that TK did request BAA to provide ALL his entire "fleet" (comprehensive of the small and cheap tecnams 2002) with Glass cockpit/G1000 or similar...at the moment BAA only has Glass cockpit on the 2 ME...having said that i find it quite difficult for BAA to fullfil this requirement...good luck !!
Then the 11 x P2002 fleet is analogue displays used for the VFR flights, is it usual to have digital displays for this phase of flight? I don't see how that will help at all for VFR |

Hi,
I am about to do an interview with BAA on the 13th of May, for the Wizzair cadetship. Has the situation improved since then in the academy? Thanks |
Yes, they invented the wheel again in one month.

Wizzair may be phasing out BAA and switching to L3 instead:

https://www.flightdeckfriend.com/pil...grams/wizz-air Some colleagues told that Wizz approaches other schools in Eastern Europe to generate cadet programs. They are not satisfied with BAA. And it's proven by the new procedure that wizz steped up with BAA. Wizz cadets apparently have a low level, wizz decided to check them after the MCC to check their level. You see clearly, all those clues that BAA is an unprofessional school. |
How is the current status quo in BAA at the moment ? I have been asked from few friends some comment on it. Thanks.

It‘s mixed - things are definitely improving, there is no more significant waiting time between ground school and flying. They got rid of most bad ground instructors, but also lost some experienced flight instructors. Nonetheless be aware that BAA is still BAA. It is and always will be run by the mother company (Avia Solutions), which does not give a single thought about giving students a great time. It’s about the money and you feel that BAA has no real option but to press it through towards the students. Incompetency has greatly reduced, though. They had (maybe thanks to the outrage here... who knows) lots of staff changes and it seems to pay off slowly. Information flow towards the students has also improved. But keeping in mind what has happened to the former students people are still expecting fishy things at every corner, which makes the overall relationship between students and BAA somewhat salty. The reports from others in this forum are definitely true - they reschedule flying so that you might be forced to rent and cancel apartments in Spain, Kaunas and Vilnius on a short notice and commute between those cities without compensation. But in the contracts they informed you this could happen. Its just that nobody expected them to actually use this to the extent they do. It’s run by a mother company which has an interest in earning as much as possible. ˋnough said. But on the other hand... do other big flight schools behave differently? I honestly don’t know. They equip you with wrong LogBooks? Good luck trying to get them to equip you with the right one. Sue them for those 40€ or swallow the pill and complain in a forum like PPRuNe (which people do, as you see). Those are the small things which make the relationship somewhat spoiled and leave you with some sort of disbelief, seeing that they actually trying to squeeze the last 10€ out of the students. Overall - be aware of two major things I’d say: Things like „Wizz is pulling out“ is not true and things like „this place is falling apart“ is also not true. It’s the frustration of students which have been ignored by BAA too long and it needs to unload somewhere. What’s true, however, is the general behaviour of BAA (described by many posters above, so no need for me to elaborate) towards the students in case something goes not as planned. This is what the one poster above means - some sue for compensation, some others swallow the pill and keep on going. They‘ll train you to get the license you paid for. If you’re satisfied after all is another story. |
BAA is BAA and will never change
Absolutely one of the worst flight schools I have ever heard of.
I still don't get it: why are you still selecting cheap of quality? You wouldn't like to put your kids on a plane flown by bad pilots, would you? Save your money, work hard for a higher budget and select a good school with reputation. |
BAA has launched a separate site to promote their marketing even more: tapkpilotu.lt
Among all the information I found that the acceptance criteria is age between 18 and 30, high school maths and physics grades of 7 and above. I'd say these criteria can be considered as key ones for selection to WizzAir cadet programme (just my personal opinion). Also, there has been quite A LOT of publications in local yellow press ordered by BAA on how being a pilot is cool, how pilots earn the most, how there's a lack of pilots, how it's a dream job, etc etc etc. You can find (and translate) all the publications here: https://www.delfi.lt/multimedija/tap....d?id=77229097 https://www.15min.lt/mokslasit/strai...lu-646-1029982 https://www.delfi.lt/multimedija/tap....d?id=77477351 https://www.delfi.lt/multimedija/tap....d?id=77087923 https://www.delfi.lt/multimedija/tap....d?id=78384313 https://www.delfi.lt/multimedija/tap....d?id=78126637 https://www.delfi.lt/darbas/profesij....d?id=80299625 https://www.delfi.lt/darbas/profesij....d?id=81100571 I think there will be more to come, as these publications appear about every 3-4 weeks :) |
It makes sense to appeal to non English speaking medias. The international forums (such as this or Facebook etc) is already aware of their chaotic environment.

@wheniwasin: You sent me a PM based upon this thread about the Polish school but I can not answer it because your inbox is full according to the forum info. Feel free to contact me on facebook (Krzysztof Thor) if you need more info.

Sorry about that. I just joined the forum, and have a 1 message maximum limit.
