And? Did they transfer the block time to the new aircraft? Or refund
the balance? If not, *then* you have a beef. If they did, then roll
with the punches...what would have done had some other student
collapsed the nose gear on your plane and sent it to the shop for a
month? Sued the student? Sued the FBO? Sued the airport?

No they did not transfer the block time yet they have not recived airplane
or offer a refund as no refunds are allowed on block time and when the time
is transferred to the new plane the rates will be higher and the hours will
not be what i paid for.

What would have happened if a student damaged the plane? it would not be a
problem as that is a unpredicted accident and things do break it is a
machine plane was down a week as alternator went out was not a problem was
close to 100 hours so they did the 100 hour at the same time.

This they knew they would be getting rid of the plane on xx date but did not
let me know prior to buying block time in advance. If they would told me i
would not have rented from them and went elseware when at the beginning
stages of my training (pre solo).

Then if your skill level is truly PP-ASEL level or better, then this
should only take a few hours familiarization in the new plane. Use it
as a learning opportunity to gete xposed to different kinds of
aircraft and their systems. If you were going to continue to use this
FBO to rent from, you'd need the checkout in this plane anyway, right?
And if you went to a different FBO, they'd expect a checkout in
whatever plane they had.

Yes all is true, but if i was a flight school and you were a full time
student (flying almost everyday weather permitting) renting an airplane
from me for training paid a certain amount and then when you were ready for
your check ride and i sold the airplane and have known when i was getting
rid of the plane prior to you paying a large amount of money knowing that by
doing so i could make a few extra hundred dollars off of you in instruction
& check out would you be upset? you probably would unless you own a money
tree or have no sence of the value of money some of us do work for our
money.



No, I would *not* have also 'cut my losses'. I wouldn't have seen them
as losses to be cut. The goal here isn't to get a piece of paper from
the FAA. the goal is to lbe proficient enough to *deserve* the
privelege of flying an airplane. This is an opportunity...not an
opportunity to sue. You put your situation out here for others to
comment upon, not me. And the response seems fairly uniform...many
pilots here don't think you have a productive attitude. Want to know
why a new Cessna 172 costs $200,000? Many reasons, but one is
insurance, which is very expensive largely due to people who are quick
to sue others whenever they do something stupid or become unhappy
about something.

Business that don't disclose important information like: in November we will
be getting rid of the airplane and it will cost you an extra $XX Per Hour +
XX more instruction do you still want to rent and receive instruction here.
but instead they kept it quiet let me empty almost my entire PP budget in to
block time knowing that they will be able now to get $XX Per Hour + XX more
instruction.

Business that operate like this will not last long and usually end up going
banko or shut down and people lose money

lets see if they actually go through with what they are offering me. so for
every thing they said has not happened.


I hear a strong sense of entitlement in your posts. That is *not* a
good attitude for a pilot to have. One of the most important
attributes of a pilot is the ability to roll with the punches, and
adapt to unfavorable situations with calm and reason. That attitude is
not displayed here. Instead of 'Wow. OK...the plane is gone. How do I
deal with this? A bit annoying, but let's see how I can finish up in a
reasonable amount of time.' I hear 'The plane is gone??? You get that
plane back or I'll sue you! I deserved to finish my training in that
plane! You guys are mistreating me.'

I should be entitled to the hours in a 172 that i paid for! If you pay for
something shouldn't you be entitled to receive it.

Not saying to get the plane back! i know the plane is gone. i am saying just
to watch who you do business with. I already came to the conclusion that it
is going to cost me one way or the other at the greed & disrecpect of
another.


Does that attitude reflect the way you fly? If it dos, I wouldn't get
near an airplane with you. Not as a passenger, not as an instructor.

No, i fly safe checklist gets a lot of attention and i use good judgment


This is a chance to show your skills at dealing with new and mildly
adverse situations. Use it to learn something new, and stop with the
unproductive blame
