You been up to Athens recently? I know two of the CFI's up there, Tom Cassidy and Chris Maisey. A buddy of mine, Olamide will be starting soon at the PDK location. Let me know if you run in to any of them, and give them a hard time for me  |

Yes, do not goto PDK. I haven't heard a good thing about that facility yet, when I do though. . .I'll make sure to let everyone know. If I ever make a trip up their Craig, I'll send the message along - or if they ever float down to PTC. I've been trying to get a hold of Luke for a few days now. Trying to figure out if he has already interviewed with ASA, or what the deal is. He was suppose to interview with them about 2-3 weeks ago. Just wondering if he has a date for class yet. |

PTC... I didn't even know you guys had a place there. Yeah, He (Olamide) thinks that they are not going to pay for his houseing at PDK. I know he wants FCC or ATH though. I'll tell him to request it haha. Or i'll let you tell him. |

Yeah I figured that out with long math equations and 23 german rocket scientists So what is the deal with PDK? Why is it a "stay away" place? |

I don't have any first hand experience. . . but everything I have heard in regards to that location has just been one hell of a headache. Either students being treated poorly from a customer relations standpoint, to egotistical instructors, etc. I suppose it's the usual things that happen at a flight school that may be too large for it's pants. But - they certainly do not have those types of issues at FFC or AHN. Maybe it's because the management takes significant steps to make sure customers are happy and informed at FFC and AHN, where as at PDK . . .it's just "Whatever happens, happens." type of deal. I haven't heard anything good about the staff at PDK, NOT a thing. The End. If I heard at least some good things I'd be a bit more reserved, but. . . I haven't, so. . .it'd be a bad place to work in my opinion. Actually got some good stuff from Gonzo tonight (thanks Aaron for the PM). Going to try to bring it to the attention of a few people tomorrow or Friday afternoon. |

Hmmm, I really want to make sure Olamide doesn't get himself in a situation he regrets, but he is going up to PDK Sunday. Maybe its not bad, but i guess he'll find out first hand whats going on over there. I wish him the best and hope Falcon does well for him. |

I'm sure Falcon will be a great place to work, no doubt. Just let him know to have his eyes wide open when he comes up, and not to take ANY snide comments from any staff member. For the most part Falcon's staff is as professional as can be. Just let him know to keep an eye out and if he hits any issues to bring them up pronto like. Quote:

Just wanted to follow up real quick with you Craig, and anyone else really. I spoke with a few members of Falcon's management team this morning in regards to the PDK location, and specifically concerning some of the customer relations issues (from Gonzo, and from two friends of mine). They are fully aware of the situation and are working on a fix. Obviously I don't think any of us are expecting anything to happen quickly, but just know that Falcon is aware of the concerns that customers are having in regards to staff members at the PDK location. Time will tell what happens. Maybe Olamide can help turn the place around. |
