I wanted to transfer to another flying school, But since i have finished my PPL Only with them, the vice president told me that i will be charged for the cancellation fee of 50% of the whole tuition fee that covers (IR,CPL,Commercial) on the airline career program.  And, ofcourse this "POLICY" must be signed and it is mandatory before they can initiate your training so, on your first day. meaning they are forcing you to agree with this policy, otherwise they wouldnt start your flight training. and most likely they are located in some pages that they just bury it in the document and hope you did not read it at all, when you are signing. So, now i cant transfer to another flight school because they are holding my M1 Visa in the government system, therefore unless i pay the $13,000 (50% Cancellation FEE) my m1 cannot be released to the system. its either your call to pay it and get out or stay with them. But, apart from that,. And They have no right to charge me for training i did not receive. This School is not looking for you best interest rather for there business. as the vice president literally said to me yesterday, i am charging 50% because we are losing money, if you didnt continue. For me this is a unethical manner.  i have alot of reasons from there management and most importantly there training method why i am transferring to another flight school.

This flight school are not complying to what is promised as advertise to there flight program. First, we have been misguided by there statements, before they updated there website, there flight programs where advertised as "FIXED-RATE-FLAT BASED RATE" And the first today (May 4th), the vice president bettina gave me the cost estimate of $5,000+. That i will be spending, for my PPL Course, so we have putted it on my account. and within few days it had gone by half, charging me invidivually, and they will hold you up, to put you in the air and to extend your training, so its simple knowledge, they keep earning money from it. and due to delay, i finished it almost 4months, but, please be in mind i finished my Flight Training course 1 and half months (Jun 20) and now, i ended up spending $14,000, compare to what they PROMISED  of $5000+ of  their supposedly package course which was not followed &  advertised and please keep in mind "we mentioned it a lot of times thru our email conversation, during my enrollment process at florida flyers". Meaning, they did not follow the fixed package deal, instead within few days after my initial training, we noticed that they are charging me per flight & lecture, and Pre/post ground($20 for every flight) which really didn't happen all the time. and they didnt follow their ground school as per package and as advertised on their website.(before it got updated). And most IMPORTANTLY, they force me to fly without proper ground training.  and i have only finished my written test before my checkride. And now, i am stuck.

Note : On the attached document, they charged the 50% Based on 240Hour flight program. Not on the 196 flight Program i selected
