Failed PPL oral...

Nice job. You made the right choice. One thing to keep in mind when you leave this school is not to start any fires. Just thank them and go on your way. You never know when one of those CFIs may be working at a place you want to.

Chasen, has the school's owner called yet to chew you out for leaving and missing the meeting?

Of course not, what do they care? Whenever they do call me to see what I'm going to do, I'll just let them know its not working out and I've decided to finish my private elsewhere. No need to explode on them or anything. I still have money on the account for the planes there, so once I earn my PPL I'll take people for rides until the account runs dry then get checked out at another local school.

You might want to think about getting a refund. Lots of reasons.

Even if it's not a huge amount, you're loaning them your cash, interest free, to operate on. There's also the possibility that even though you've gotten your PPL elsewhere, they may either severely restrict your aircraft usage, or not allow you to use them at all, or demand that you get checked out all over again and eat up the account that way. Or they could just say "What money?". Things like this have happened before.

I strongly agree with this statement.

I've had a school mess me over while they "fixed" a downed aircraft that i had money on an account to rent.
Long story short-aircraft was never fixed, school disappeared, and the owner claimed he had no part of it to the court because his name wasn't on the title of the aircraft.
Yet one of his "other business practices" was on the title.
Didnt hold up in court, and I LOST MY MONEY.
 
Its about $900 on the account...guess I should get that back. Someone at the school told me they were worried they wouldn't let me fly there if I did my PPL in SDF. Seeing as they signed me off in their A/C and taught me how to fly, why shouldn't they offer my PPL when I keep money on the account with them? Then again, I guess I wouldn't be surprised the way things have been going.

If you're certified and rated by the FAA on their aircraft and they still don't want to let you rent because of a grudge of some sort then I'd never have anything to do with that place again. Ever.

Get your money ASAP. Don't spend more more money there when they're trying to screw you.
