What is the latest on Maylan?

Not sure, but when I saw the title of your thread I was hopeful.

There was a letter posted on the window stating rent had not been paid for last 13 months and that $136,500.00 owing to the landlord and that the tenant has been evicted.

In YXU?

The only surprise here is that it didn't happen sooner.

POOR STUDENTS ....

Those of us that instructed there saw the writing on the wall for some time.

Note poor anymore, they're broke, and unlike most flight school grads, they won't have anything to show for it.

Did the students have to pay upfront? Will the Private Career Colleges People reimburse them?

Paid up front by their airlines and the PCC people have no jurisdiction.

can you say "LAWSUIT"

Just another black eye for the Canadian flight training reputation. Glad I got out of training years ago!!

...

Maylan the main international flight school at YXU?

So I guess CYXU can go back to being class D now.

I'm not sure if this will stop him. These type of scumbags tend to just close down and set up shop elsewhere and the creditors (including students) will never see any of the money they are owed. If/when this happens, everyone needs to make a big enough stink so that they don't get a chance to do it all over again (contact newspapers, etc). Get the word out, and hopefully no airport will allow them to operate.

How can anyone with huge airline contracts with a country that needs so many pilots go out of business ?

2R:

Shaky strategy
Mis-Management
Over promise, under deliver

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Ever seen a sports team snatch defeat from the jaws of vicotry? Having everything going for you is rarely enough.

Promise to make a right seat worthy pilot from zero time in 14 months. Ignore the fact that the candidates will be training using a second language in which they are barely fluent. Locate your school in a busy airport, make sure that airport is located exactly where the most streamers come off Lake Huron. Buy lots of airplanes but forget that 1/3 of the fleet will be down for maintenance on any given day. That will do for starters.

Maylan is finished but the situation isnt better as all the Asian students have went across the street and are now causing havoc over there

I quite like their "new" website.

Ha ha that is hilarious!

And $135K in upaid rent over last 13 months? That is some expensive 10K rent per month! No wonder.

I guess in China you would be executed for something like this unless you paid off a government official.
