Man, I can't wait for this program to take a dirt nap for good. I just feel really bad for all their students...wish I had a way to warn them that the snake oil they bought was the same brand of BS that burned me and some others! They took my money, and my dream to fly for a career! They lied about all those "guaranteed interviews" from the beginning! My 10-12 months turned out to be over 18 months! And the student they interviewed is estimating his/her "1-year program" to be a possible 2-year program!! I hope he packed enough cash in his luggage to take him/her through that extra year!

As I said in the past, stay the hell away from this CRAPT program! Karma man...I'm going out for a beer to celebrate their demise! Spread the word! CAPT is definitely NOT the place you want to send anyone for flight training!

Let's hope the rest of the worthless pilot mills putting out worthless pilots follow suit shortly.
The Gulfstream Academy and Jet U's of the world are a joke.

The more 'pilot factories' close up shop, the better.

A shame for the CFIs that work there because they're out of a job in tough times with not a lot of hours but they will find something.

The pilot mills give too much BS to their prospective students and that is what brings people into this industry without them knowing what they are getting into.

Where are the falling ballons?

This is like your one thousandth post on your failures at CAPT.

Looks like you finally got your wish.

Amish RakeFight,

They're not dead yet. When the news of their death spreads, I will be the first to pull the rope that releases those balloons! But between you and me and that Russian chick, I guess I wasn't lying to you guys about just how bad it was huh? I do feel somewhat vindicated...still doesn't quite change the fact that I still have to pay a F*^K load of cash each month for the remaining 13 years on my loan out of that sorry ass program.

And for your information, I didn't fail the CAPT Program. They failed me...and now they're going to fail to serve 160 more students. CAPT is so pathetic.

If you owe large sums of money, find a way out. Can't you declare bankruptcy or something? I can understand your financial pain.

 

[Flying Ninja]

Can't declare bankruptcy...thanks to George W. for changing that law. I am finding my way out...it's just a matter of time... So instead of doing something productive with my time to contribute to the glory of aviation, I now have to slave away to pay the debt. Good times...

 

[Amish RakeFight]

Change your SS or use 1/5 of what it costs to pay back and buy a new identity.

 

[Flying Ninja]

Eh, I may have come out of a slimy flight school but I certain have come out with my integrity and honor in tact...can't say the same for the CAPT Program.

How did they fail you?

What are you doing now?

I am curious.

I have flown with several CAPT graduates and was impressed with all of them. Did they do something different than you? Are you saying that CAPT graduates are bad or are saying CAPT is bad, and how so?

 

[Max Q]

Never really understood these types of programs. The people I know that took the bait are up to their asses in debt with little to no light at the end of the tunnel. Why are so many people falling into this trap? I have no sympathy.

Here's some background on Ninja and CAPT. Judge for yourself. Personally, I think it's sour grapes on his part.

Yup----the Ninja is a non-hacker who couldn't handle it........he brags about "the highest flight time" in the program, apparently not realizing that high time=slow learner.

I too have had several FOs from the CAPT program, and have been impressed with them.....much better than the average new hire.

Ninja, some people just weren't cut out to be pilots....maybe this is the category you fall into. The world needs lot of other professions, so maybe you will excell in some other field.

 

[Sig]

So they didn't give you flight time?
You didn't pay for and receive a DC-9 type?


I think you got what you paid for, champ. You might suck arse as a pilot, but as the saying goes, "Pay peanuts, get monkeys."

Best of luck. In your case, that seems to mean "good luck crossing the street without getting whacked by a bus, even though the sign says 'WALK'".

This may seem harsh, but...

Scenario 1) You took a risk. You took out globs of money, passed training, and took a gamble on historically one of the most unstable industries in the world...and you got burned. The industry tanked and CAPTs didn't deliver. Now banks want return on a contractual loan agreement that you signed. And it's George W. Bush's fault?

Now, lets look at another angle.

Scenario 2) You took a risk. You took out globs of money, passed training, and took a gamble on historically one of the most unstable industries in the world...and you land a job. You repay the loan, as agreed. For years on end, you repay this loan. Every month. You sacrifice. You deprive yourself. Still, this risk lives with you month after month, repayment check after repayment check. This risk, gone sour, could have ruined you (as reality dictates).

And now, here's the kicker of Scenario 2 : You pay taxes. LOTS of taxes. Your income is stripped from you because of others who leech off the system, never risked for reward, or are down on their luck. Paycheck after paycheck, you surrender a disproportionate amount of dollars from your reward from your huge risk (and hard work from the sounds of it). Social Security? You'll be lucky if you see a fraction of what you put into it...not to mention all of those other Ponzi scheme government entitlement programs.

With all of these taxes and examples of wealth redistribution: Now your risk is that much larger. Now your reward is that much smaller. Guess what? George W. Bush lowered taxes. And he changed the bankruptcy laws to prevent abuse. Did you think that the actions of government would (and should) bail you out? Who do you think pays for that bailout in the end? Everybody who pays taxes. You knew the risks of a loan and it didn't work out. Personal accountability: WHAT A CONCEPT!!!

It's not the ex-president's fault. It's the CAPT program's inability to deliver, and yours for taking that risk.

If you want to get pissed off about something and start blaming people, hold the gun the right way and aim correctly.

Unbelievable. Grow up. But good luck. Seriously.
