PAT not training
 

Has anyone else heard that PAT have stopped training?

I seriously hope not. I visited them back in 2011 and was impressed with that school as I was considering them.
You're talking about the school based in BOH, right?

Really hope not- where did you hear that?

The PAT website seems to be down :(

If this is about PAT at Bournemouth then their website is not down and they are still in operation AFAIK . . . :confused:

Interestingly I haven't seen much sign of any of the PAT Dutchess's in the last few weeks.

I haven't heard that they have stopped training, it may be the school is just quiet at the moment; but PAT are no where near as busy as they used to be and certainly seem to be operating on a much reduced scale than in previous years.

Totally outstanding school. I owe Anthony my career due to him putting my name forward for an interview. I always could tell his outfit was a cut above all the rest when I visited the flyer exhibition at Heathrow all those years ago. Perhaps most importantly the CAA chief examiner recommended them as the best.

In order to clarify matters:

We have decided to part-retire, and are moving out of our current premises on December 14th. Our CAA approvals will remain.

We will not be taking on any new CPL/IR students, but we will complete those that we have started. We may continue training CB-IR students.

We will publish our new contact details on the website shortly and will continue to provide security and airline references to any ex-student for the next five years.

We wish all our ex-students the best for the future, both the many who have found jobs and the few who are still looking. It has been stimulating to work with you all and we enjoy hearing about those who have progressed to captains (or higher!), or who are now working for prestigious airlines like BA.

Separately, our examiner courses and examiner seminars under 'Flight Examiner Training' will continue full steam.

Thank you also for all the continuing support that we have received from industry.

Anthony & Linda Mollison

Who do I send my students to now? :)

Seriously, good luck to you - schools that do the job properly are hard to find.
