Has anyone ever dealt with spectrum airways in Burlington?
I’m late in the game but ready to start now!

Can you elaborate on that? Crooks how? What was your involvement and when?
I know you, I respect you and I think you do a great job as do most of the instructors at Spectrum. However, I will call a spade a spade. Being a disgruntled employee, ex-employee, ex-student, it doesn't matter. Spectrum Airways in the grand industry beyond flight training has a horrible reputation. Case in point when the old manager went on mat leave and came back, well, never came back to a job. How do things like this happen, seriously? You are not a crook and you are not unprofessional, some of your bosses on the other hand have different motives. I invite you to get a job at an airline and say the name "Kovachik," you'll either be met with an eye roll or you'll hear some obnoxious story about the shame associated with that name.Aviatard wrote: ↑Sun Jul 29, 2018 3:49 am Disclosure: I work for Spectrum.
Unfortunately online reviews aren't very reliable. I am aware of one person who cheated on his qualifying exams and who we refused to give a recommendation letter to write the TC exam. This person then went on to make a number of fake google accounts for the purpose of denigrating the school, accusing the management of being racist and a number of other nasty things. The negative feedback on this thread also doesn't have any background information, so it isn't possible to know if they're genuine, or just the result of some disgruntled ex-employee looking for some revenge.
As for the revolving door for instructors, it's true that a number of them have moved on in the past year. This is a situation that exists in pretty much every flight school in S. Ontario, as a result of the demand for pilots at the airlines. It's not unique to Spectrum. and we have a number of students who have come to us from other schools because they felt they weren't able to progress elsewhere due to instructor turn over, or because they school they are flying with is being sold and possibly closing.
The best thing you can do is visit the schools you're interested in and talk to the CFIs and other staff there. I'm not happy about being called a crook and unprofessional on here, but there isn't much I can do about it, except to let you see for yourself.
Did said student transition to Waterloo?Aviatard wrote: ↑Sun Jul 29, 2018 3:49 am Disclosure: I work for Spectrum.
