With reference to Airline Training, apart from a couple of institutions at YBAF, I honestly dont think another new operator has the means nor structure to compete with what is already running @ YBAF. Who really wants to learn to fly in some clapped out traumahawk which cockpit environment resembles something that biggles once treasured in the 'early years'

There are plenty of other training institutions out there who have available the latest aircraft that GA has to offer .. why would you opt for anything less?

My $0.05 worth ( ex GST for you career people ) $0.10 for others ..

Correct!. Last time I was at YBAF, I saw new Cessnas, Diamonds and Cirrus (Plu; Cirri?).
A few poor old TommyAxes can't compete unless the price is set real low.
Evidently, the same fleet was not able to compete with the Redcliffe Aero Club's new C172s -

Ok, first yes Av8 is real, second it is run with tomahawks, C172RG, Warrior, Partenavia and C310, the owner does not look down at Cessna pilots, and I should no as I fly the C172 and I fly PA38's with him, he has an amazing amount of knowledge and you say you would'nt fly with someone with a dim outview and yet you judge him before knowing him, I don't mean to be picky but essentially this is a rumour network as the name suggests and you can't rely on the information of others. It is in the old terminal building at archerfield I don't know where Dalby came into it full stop, it is a very good organisation with a lot of experience and I would most certainly place my cash into this organisation. I think that before you say things as the above remarks you should first investigate the organisation, a website will be up and running soon.

Just a question of curiosity .. how much were you paid to blow your trumpet for "AV8 aka Arena Aviation2 aka Sausage Mill" ?

I wasn't paid at all, I just think that this school is not such a bad thing and I'm sorry if you (bizzybody) feel that way about the owner and CFI, however I was merely placing in the gaps. I did not blow any trumpets at all but as you can see not everyone is going to feel happy about Av8.

I suspect you are involved with them in some way because there is no way a 17 year old would register for the fun of it and the first post he makes is to defend the organisation he shares his name with.

Me thinks you are a Grade 3 instructor for Av8 looking for some sorry punters...
Or a CPL student who is trying to get into management's good books so you can become a G3 there. Better get used to washing GB's car.
