Hands down the worst experience I’ve…
Hands down the worst experience I’ve ever had with a flight school. I’ve been trying to reach Annif, the CFI at St. Thomas flight school, for months, called him at least 10 times, never once got a call back, never once got an answer. Imran (who handles dorm arrangements) even tried to help me by emailing Annif twice and CC’ing me, just to get a simple meeting booked. Annif ignored everything, me, his own staff, and any attempt at communication. That tells you everything about how rude and unprofessional this is.
Two weeks ago, I messaged Imran on whatasapp of this "flight school" letting him know I had visited the dorm area and didn’t mind living there, and I also told him I was sick with flue and would be out of quarantine in a week. This morning, I messaged Imran on the school’s WhatsApp number, hoping he finally be able to get a hold of this "flight school" to set up a meeting with Annif hoping being the 11th times it works for him. Later that afternoon, I received an email, it came as a completely unsigned email from an unknown general school mailbox, refusing to provide service.
I even offered to meet over Zoom in case Annif’s schedule was so messed up that he couldn’t commute to his own school, still no response. Four months wasted just trying to get this CFI to commit to something. When I called the school to ask who sent that unsigned email, no one knew, not the dispatcher, not Imran. Imagine a flight school that can’t even identify who sends official emails on its behalf. Total embarrassment.
This school is completely incompetent and disorganized. They kept me hanging for 8 months with zero professionalism, zero accountability, and the most unresponsive CFI I’ve ever encountered. If this is how they operate before you even start training, imagine the disaster once you actually pay them.
For the record, I’m a well-known TikToker with over 210k followers and an average of 5–7 million views per video. I’ll be posting content about this experience so people can see how unprofessional this school and their CFI really are. An apology for wasting my time and the unprofessional handling would be the bare minimum.
Save your money. Save your time. Stay far away from this place.
Stay tuned!
