I specificly asked a question regarding my medical condition and there response was it would be ok and I shouldn't worry about it. it is not a matter of he said she said it's a matter of being lied to in order for them to make a business contract. legaly it is not binding for them to lie in order to make the contract valid. I would never of signed the contract if I knew the truth and as soon as I found out the truth I stoped all my dealings with them. I will not quit on this because it is wrong, wrong, wrong, what they did.

Successfully suing schools doesn't seem to happen a whole lot, on an individual basis, or in class actions. From the sounds of this particular complaint, it seems to be a "he said/she said" situation, which would really make it hard to prove. Unless you have an audio recording of them stating that the FAA doesn't exclude people with your specific medical conditions, all the person has to do is say "I misunderstood". Misunderstanding isn't a basis for suing, as far as I've ever heard. Even if you were able to launch a class action suit, the lawyers are the ones who make the money. When settlements are done, I don't recall the litigants being "made whole" for their losses. It always seems to be pennies on the dollar once the fine is spread out among all the litigants. The lawyers get the vast majority of the money. I'm so sorry for your loss of time and energy, it is so unfair when schools set students up to fail. It breaks the bank as well as dreams, and that is so unconscionable it's beyond sickening. Just letting go of the situation is SUCH a lame offering of assistance, but it could be the best thing, emotionally. Eventually, all consumers have to resign themselves to being unable to fight corporate America, in general, as they cover their hides so doggone well.

Yes Wyotech outright lied and I have witnesses the subject was brought up on more than one occassion and there response was the same. you can not go to a school like that and have to take insulin injections and not have anyone notice it and the kept saying it was not a problem so they did outright lie at admissions and throughout the time I was there. In court they will loose just ask the faa what the deal is they know about it also. it's a loose loose situation for everyone involved.

I asked the question at admission and they outright lied to me about it. I asked the question again and they outright lied again about it. If they wanted to be clear about it all they had to do was to ask the faa for clairification and they did not do it which also makes them negligent.

I think I would have checked, or gotten the exam before taking the classes. The school has nothing to do with getting an FAA med cert. That's up to the doctor who gives the exam to determine if you pass or not. It probably depends on the type of diabetic you are and if it is controlled or not. They should have told you though that one was needed. The vast majority of the students never get to that point anyway. Also very few students ever get a job in the flying field. There are too many ex-military folks out there with thousands of hours under their belts. It sounds like they didn't lie to you, they just didn't tell you the whole story which is a whole different tune in court. Been there, done that.
