I'll sell you a copy of the entire thread for 20 beans

I think you may have stumbled onto a good second job there, U. If all the fun threads keep disappearing there will be a good market for the service.

RE: Key Bank loan

Another interesting thing about the Key Bank loan is that it goes directly to the school and is disbursed prior to the student actually signing the contract with the school. In the case of the now-defunct Airline Training Academy in Orlando there were several students with loans ranging from 40K to 80K who never got to set foot in a classroom before it shut down and Key still wants them to pay back the whole loan.

If any of you are interested in more details try redtrainer.org. That's the site that was set up by the 300+ students who were left holding the bag when the retired airline captain who owned the school took the money and ran.

Florida A-G

I hope that redtrainer.org puts it to those scoundrels.

I would bet that by now they've contacted the Florida Attorney-General. Just for fun, here is a webpage to the A-G that discusses deceptive trade practices.

Hope this helps some more.

I heard a rumor tonight that one of the guys who "owns" TAB worked at Airline Training Academy a couple of years ago and had a falling out there with the owner(s). Probably over ethical reasons I'm sure
Also heard a rumor that the former ATA folks(not the airline based out of IND or MDW) are doing some kind of brokering of charter services in the Daytona Beach area. Just repeating gossip.
Too bad, because I was very tempted to shell out $60K for TAB's 727 F/E program (joke).
Fight the good fight.
