TAB Express DED,Fla.

Does anyone know anything about TAB Express????What kind of company is it to work for????

 

[kingaira90]

OK I'll be the one to break the news. They are out of business. They did it with flair by taking millions in students money at the same time. They are being investigated by the fla sec state for fraud. Their "airline" never flew a revenue flight, and collapsed at the same time as the school b/c they were using students money to finance the whole thing. Probably not the best place to work.-kingaira90

Just looked at July 2005 issue of AOPA Flight Training at the FBO and they still have an add for TAB Airline!@?

TAB Express closed its doors on June 15, 2005. See previous posts. They took student's money right up to the end.

Bob is correct, but no Tony Adamo at TAB

 

[L.Skywalker]

It's Tony Ptach, but Bob and Mitch are the criminals.

 

[Batfish]

Thats right Tony and Bob are brothers in law not brothers. Remember TAB stands for Tony and Bob. But I will agree that Bob and Mitch are the real criminals. Batfish

Isn't the sinister-Mitch behind the whole TAB debaucle, the same guy that was behind the ATA disaster in FL a few years ago??? Dirt bags...

 

[kingaira90]

yes the same Mitch as ATA. Although with them he was just the head recruiter. At TAB he was the head recruiter AND had a big hand in how the program was set up and I am sure the airline idea. Before Mitch, you could get 200hrs of king air time for 16,500 I believe. With his help it was more like 60k for the same. I guess the HUGE hype and the uniforms cost a lot.-kingaira90
