Students want to finish pilot training without extra cost

Former Pilot Training College students and their parents have asked the Government to ensure each individual trainee can finish their training without any additional cost.

The students, along with their parents and sponsors, are to mount a “Picket for Justice” outside the Dáil tomorrow.

Some 80 students, many of them Irish, at the Florida Institute of Technology saw their training cancelled abruptly last month following a dispute between the institute and the Waterford-based Pilot Training College.
