The airline academy daytona beach florida

I attended the airline academy with class 9a. I had a lot of bad experience. When the recruiter came to my house the first time. To tell me about what the airline academy had to offer. Everything she explained was amazing until i seen it with my own eyes. She told me that there were limited space for student that if i didn't sign up at that moment i will have wait. She told me that the hotel rooms were nice and clean which they weren't. All the books that the airline academy send us to study were made from cheap material. I knew inside of me this school was a scam. I went to the web and google the school and all i can read was bad reviews of this school. The airline academy training was not like they say it was.I felt like i over paid for a training that was not worth even a penny. I had to pay for the hotel which were one of the worst room i ever stayed at. I payed everything cash. I always felt that there was something that was not being run right in the airline academy. After i thought about it i already made like 5 payments and i was already in the boat. If i would stop paying i would lost all my money. So i kept paying the tuition but with a big thought in my mind if this is a scam or not good. This is some of my experience that i had will attending there. All i want is to get all my money back from the airline academy and sued them for mistreating my humans rights, scam, running a school that was not legal. I want the owners to go to jail and the instructor and pay for all the harm they did to every single student. That believe in them and were trying to become a better person the right way.

I recently attended school at the airline academy down in daytona beach, florida.

First of all, i was paid a visit by a so called "recruiter" at my very own home. He clearly stated that every single student would be hired once they finish schooling at the academy. Also, he told my family that many airlines hire students out of this school. Southwest, delta, and continental airlines to name a few. Then he said that i could work anywhere i wanted to. Dorms were condos conveniently located near the beach, and there would be transportation to and from the school.

Second of all, i had to pay almost six thousand dollars or so just on the "distance learning" portion at a rate of $243 a month. It was required by the academy that it would be paid off before i started training at the academy.

Third, i had to pay another three hundred dollars or so on the flight to and from my place. Then i had to pay at least $700 to housing and a $50 deposit, which was never returned to me when i left.

When i showed up for the first night at the housing, the entire dorm was actually a hotel room The seascape inn) and not a condo. Cockroaches and ants crawled rampantly on the floor, and i believe that there were mice running rampant between the walls.

Silverware and other kitchen items were incomplete. There were no paper towels to wipe anything off, and only one bottle of dish soap and a couple cloths to wash and dry dishes.

Bathrooms were very moldy and dirty as well. Bathtub area especially.

Rooms were okay, but some of my classmates were unlucky. Some found hair or oil on towels and pillows provided.

To make things worse, the location of the housing from the school was far by at least seven miles. Stores and food were far from the school, and students could barely leave the houses after school and get back before sign-out times.

House parents were lazy and rude. Students did not feel comfortable around them, and were treated horribly. They especially would open dorm room entrance doors without a warning, which scared a lot of my classmates.

They lie, cheat and steal

This school really needs to shut down right away, go out of business, because really don't need this school to become a flight attendant, the airlines will train you for free, the lie, cheat and steal peoples money they don't care about you, they only care about the money, you can't get a job out of this airline academy. If you have common sense you would not go to any outside flight attendant school, they are nothing but a rip offs, and scams, so please save your money and invest in yourself, because you will regret it, and it can be used against you.
