I think if you really look into some places you'll find what you're talking about. And in no way am I trying to pass myself off as an advertising professional. I answer phones, reply to e-mails and give tours. And, if I can, hear what students want and see what I can do to make them happy. Because, anyone who is in the business of customer service understands that you can't do a thing if you're making your customers (students) mad. I think we all know the best or most crippling thing for a company is word of mouth.
Would you share which flight academy you work with, maybe per PM?
Because the points mentioned above are just a quick and "no thinking involved" description of what "customers" see in this business. If I found a "academy style training facility" that did not fall short of these expectations I would maybe be able to be convinced that the market is build on anything else then the current corrupt system.
My points above are just the first couple of points that come to mind.
