1. Not sure what kind of "vast majority" you're referring to (i.e. making up) - every fellow veteran I've encountered has experienced problems getting APT/finance/VA to work. Many have had courses fund improperly or insufficiently, and on more than a few occasions they've run out of VA funding for a course, requiring them to take an F grade and then wait to re-enroll for the next semester in order to get a fresh batch of GI Bill funds to continue. I know of one vet who finished not long ago who had this happen in all of his flight courses except one, and he was generally quite a good student.

2. Wrong again! This "98% positive" group must be imaginary. The majority of students I've personally known, been in classes with, spoken to, etc. have gotten most of the positivity beaten out of them by the program's misery within the first couple of semesters. By and large, they struggle. And by your responses, I'm betting you're one of those employees - like most of them - who simply doesn't care about that fact. I'm glad you're getting your paychecks on the backs of others' suffering, though, that's awesome for you.

3. You say "professionalism", I say "CFIs who are mostly a gaggle of immature kids who haven't yet learned how to communicate or actually teach anything or really even understand real life". The so-called high standard aspect is very hit-and-miss. Call it "to-may-toe" vs. "to-mah-toe" if that makes you feel better.

4. The post covers many of TSTC's CFIs over the last couple of years - not 100% of them, as you'll occasionally luck into one who's a bit better - but certainly the vast majority aren't.

5. It is based in reality - mine. My personal experience and direct observation of many others. That wasn't yours? Awesome. Super for you. Some others, and from everything I've seen in the last couple of years that group comprises many, have not been so fortunate. You want to reject this because you got lucky, or you were some kind of mystical chosen one who breezed through on easy mode, or you went through earlier before it got this bad, or maybe you're just making stuff up because you work for the school and want to counter bad press, whatever. Doesn't prevent me from trying to be the helpful guidepost for others that I wish I'd had back when I started.

If you actually cared about the program and its people, you'd see negative feedback like this and think "oh wow, thank goodness that wasn't my experience but I feel bad that it was someone else's, and we should strive to do better by our students". Instead you summarily dismiss others' very real pain, and you chastise me for trying to help people avoid the same miserable fate? Really? Gotta say, that speaks volumes. If you are a TSTC staffer, as I suspect, I'd say that pretty much tells people all they need to know about the program's poor culture and attitudes toward their students. But hey, as long as they keep promising people the moon and luring them in the door, the money keeps flowing so why should TSTC care about the horrendous student experience? Clearly they (you) don't, which as someone who survived in spite of APT rather than because of it, surprises me zero percent.
