Pro Wings Aviation

[template654]

Just wanted to give my thoughts on a job that was in the ads. Class 3 instructor for Pro Wings Aviation. I did all my training there for my private and commercial. I have had a partial engine failure, 2 radio failures, the seat come off the seat rails, the passenger door handle swing in a circle not opening anything, and other problems. When flying his plane on a long cross country (2000 miles) into the states, we lost the alternator, airspeed indicator, heading indicator, fuel gagues, adf, and the vor all to seperate incidents. Just think aboult this when responding to their post for an instructor.

Oh come on how much equipment do you really need? That stuff is all for sissys anyway.

Hey,
Great Posting ! I agree Pro Wings Aviation is the WORST. I trained there about 2 years ago and the guy was so lazy, was always late and there were always problems with the planes. Not to mention he stunk, vents open and I could still smell him. I can't believe he is still in business. Any other stories? I know lots of people who hate Pro Wings.

chatted with the guy a couple times, arrogant jerk if we are all talking about the same guy

Was offered a job out there several months ago but my vehicle was rear ended on the way over from Calgary. Its maybe a little unfair to be calling the owner all sorts of names on a public forum and perhaps a little childish and unprofessional too.

I have heard a lot of bad things about that place, BUT don't always believe what you hear. Research it yourself there are many resourses - ask the company for a letter of reference from satisfied students, enquire with Transport Canada. BUYER BEWARE !

Most of what you hear is true. Check out their record with transport canada. Prowings is Transport's biggest investor (with fines). Buyer Beware is right
