    Up to 80 Irish trainee pilots who paid as much as €83,000 for flight training are stranded in Florida after being told their course will not be continuing.

    The students and their families have no idea if their fees are to be returned. In recent days, they were told they had to leave their campus accommodation before the middle of this month.

    Some pilots in the US only get paid $20k per year, some even less.

    That's pretty ****ed up, they should at least get their money back. It's all up in the air at this stage really if they will or not, but I hope they do.
