Meglio che scriviamo in inglese pero...

Welcome, and yeah, I'd love to know how aviation works from my country...how different is it from the US FAA system?

A dopo...

I sure enjoy seeing all you paisani on the board, especially after I instructed a number of your paisani for Alitalia at FSI ten years ago.

I hear that IFTA in Bakersfield was training Alitalia students until recently when the contract ended or something.

Alitalia pulled out of ifta but i don't think there is any new asm classes anywhere ---i think they stopped it all together or at least that's what they told us

 

[azdriver]

Thanks to everybody for the warm welcome!!

I did go thru IFTA: I was there from april to september 2000 and I really enjoy it. Great planes and istructors, maybe BFL sucks a bit but as they say it is two hours drive to everythings.

I know that the training contract signed from Alitalia with IFTA was for 3 years and anyways all of us at the end of the training we were put in a hiring pool (not very nice after two years of hard work and something like 80000 $ spent on it). I personally waited around 14 mo. before I got the call for the type rating course thanks to Alitalia Express.
I don't think they are going to send anymore classes after ASM 8 because they don't know what to do with them at the end of the training.
