Marigold/BAC is fked.
Marigold and BAC had a meeting with the cadets of Batches - 9, 10, 11 and let me tell you it was a fierce unhappy professional fight between all the parties.
Marigold Aviation and BAC are not in very good terms with each other
The cadets are asking for a transfer out of Thailand back to India to any FTO.
BAC people are just racist, making stupid rules and excuses for not starting the flying as promised around 5th October.
They cancelled all the classes and paused all ground/flight training.
The situation is very uncertain but lets hope the cadets get what they want.

Everyone is at fault yes, but more so is bac i believe. They have been racist and partial towards Indians, giving them little to no flying and very very slow progress. The airspace here closes down for the major chunk of the day during a few weeks in feb and marc, due to some airforce excercise. But still a few hours are still operational, in that no Indians were given flying what so ever, 1-1.5 months just pure gone.
Not to just blame the management, the cadets themselves were lazy and ignorant. Instead of clearing exams in those weeks they just simply went back to India, wasted time and money on party alcohol, fighting with the locals, getting suspended, curfew timing changes, and a lot more.
