COMPENSATORY COURT CLAIM / CIVIL SUIT PENDING

I contracted with Aero Moto Training LLC for private pilot lessons last September where I paid 7500 dolalrsto Kurt Schneider the company owner. My wife had passed away last May of cancer and she made me promise before she died that I would get my pilot license. Her name was Kathryn J Sanborn and was a Naval officer, her father Naval Doctor for 30 years and her brother a Naval Pilot for 20 years. After 4 flight lessons and 1 class my leg and back began having extreme pain from the pilot seat. For 5 months I underwent physical therapy and various doctor appointments.

Mr. Schneider was informed of my condition and I intended to return by year end last year but my condition worsened. Two weeks ago I met with Mr. Schneider who told me he would give me a statement of my account (for which he has been paid), my flight log book and a refund. By the end of the first week of delaying me he informed me he does not have the money. With frustration I told him I intended to sue him if I do not receive a refund and in any event I wanted a copy of my statement of account and pilot log.

He continued to tell me he would get this information but has never done so. I contacted the FAA inspection department who were very upset with his behavior and recommended I also demand a copy of the "CAN" which are the safety and maintenance records they require be kept for each flight. Again I demanded this information and Mr. Schneider says he will get it to me all this past week but still has not done so.

On Monday I plan to file suit again Aero Moto Training LLC and the company that leases the plane to him as he claims he paid them 5400 dollars on my behalf and has requested a refund but they have not responded. The name of that company is Hotel Echo Inc and is owned by Mr. Wayne S Jackson of 17 Willow Trace Flagler Beach, Florida 32136. The tail number of the plane is N777HE, the HE meaning Hotel Echo.

I would appreciate anything you can do to help me obtain my refund. My doctor has declared me permanently disabled and even though I have repeated text to and from Mr. Schneider assuring him I will not sue if he provides with me accurate information and we can reconcile and continue training. If not, then I demand a refund. Mr. Schneider actually tried to tell me because I had not contacted him recently I should not expect anything else. In all actuality he was to provide me with statements each month. Each time I am in his office and request he print the statement he claims something is wrong with the computer.

The two items required are a copy of the "CAN" and the account statement which must reconcile. This would take he or his assistant no more than 15 minutes and I have told them I will pick it up, they can text, email, mail, or bring it to me at their option. Yet Mr. Schneider will simply not comply while saying he will comply.

You should also know that in June 2016 a tax lien of dollars 726 by the Florida Department of Revenue placed on the business according to local newspapers.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Local TV and newspapers have agreed to investigate this matter along with the Sheriff and the Better Business Bureau. The next step is to complete many more of these websites and link them together and then file litigation.

Sincerely, Tom Bland

HELLO,

MY NAME IS WAYNE JACKSON AND I AM THE PRESIDENT OF
HOTEL ECHO, INC. THE COMPANY NAMED IN THE ABOVE COMPLAINT.
I WOULD LIKE TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT REGARDING HOTEL ECHO'S
INVOLVEMENT WITH MR. SCHNEIDER AND AERO MOTO LLC.
HOTEL ECHO HAS BEEN LEASING/RENTING THE AIRCRAFT MENTIONED IN THIS
COMPLAINT FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO TO MR SCHNEIDER AND AERO MOTO.

THE LEASE IS ARRAIGNED AS FOLLOWS, AERO MOTO LLC PAYS HOTEL ECHO INC.
A MINIMUM PAYMENT EVERY WEEK OF $1000.00 AND AT THE END OF EVERY
MONTH IF THE AIRCRAFT HAS FLOWN MORE THEN 78.8 HOURS IN THAT
MONTHLY PERIOD AERO MOTO LLC THEN PAYS HOTEL ECHO AN ADDITIONAL
$55.00 PER HOUR OVER THAT 78.8 HOURS.

AT NO TIME IN MY DEALINGS WITH MR SCHNEIDER AND AERO MOTO LLC HAS
HE EVER PAID HOTEL ECHO A LUMP SUM PAYMENT FOR ANY OF HIS STUDENTS
AS DESCRIBED IN MR BLANDS LETTER. IF MR BLAND HAD TAKEN THE TIME TO
COME TO MY OFFICE WHICH IS LOCATED RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE AERO MOTO
HANGAR I WOULD HAVE EXPLAINED IT TO HIM.

ACTUALLY I NEVER KNEW THERE WAS A ISSUE WITH MR BLAND AND
MR SCHNEIDER OF AERO MOTO UNTIL I RECEIVED A COPY OF THIS
SCAM INFORMATION, WHICH WAS SENT ANONYMOUSLY, ABOUT A MONTH OR SO
AGO WITH A COPY OF MR BLANDS LETTER AND A FEW OTHER POSTINGS
REGARDING SOME OTHER ISSUES MR SCHNEIDER HAS HAD IN THE PAST.

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS RESPONSE.

The Comments posted here are fraudulent and completely untrue... It is unfortunate that any "Anonymous" person can post such nasty things about someone to push their agenda... Distorted images and information deliberately posted on sites like this without any checks and balances for content of truth...

This person contacted me and "Promised to not post this negative distortion" if I paid him money... I contacted my local Sherriff's Department and they would do nothing... Contacted a local Attorney and was counseled that it would cost more money to go after him than it was worth...

Thanks for reading this response...

I hope You do not run into someone like this...

Who Scammed You Commenter
What Kurt is saying about this is all lies!! Kurt is a scam artist! Has stolen thousands from students!! Crushing their dreams I would not do any business with him! He was on the news the other night on ripping people off! 3 students came forward about him taking log books and not giving them back. He has multiple fraud cases against him. Even battery for chocking a women. I wouldn’t trust my children with him! Or for sure your money stay away or you might be next!
Hello I was also scammed by Kurt J Joseph Schneider. My ex fiancé was also scammed out of around $2,000.

Kurt got about $16,000 out of me from my training. In hindsight, when I got a new instructor and my instructor saw how I was flying, he informed me. Kurt teaches in a way that maximizes time in the air and money down the drain. He will tell you you aren't ready to solo and you aren't ready to take your check ride over and over again.

He hired a woman to help around the hanger (later became my fiancé). Gave promises about teaching her to fly. Once I started dating her he started treating her like shit. Fired her for no reason and held her $1800 paycheck saying she owed him for the flight hours he had given her. I wanted to take this bastard to court but my ex-fiancé didn't want to fight, just wanted to forget about it all. After reading other accounts I think he hired her to try to get sexual favors.

The final straw for me is after the 4th time trying to do my check ride, he calls me and tells me that the plane is in emergency maintenance and I have to cancel my check ride for the day. This means I will have to do 3-6 more hours of preparation again before I do my check ride.

My fiancé tells me he is lying so I go out to the airport. As I get there I see him taxiing with a student during my check ride time. This was absolutely the last straw. This man is a predator and cannot be trusted.

He preys on students and he preys on women.

STAY AWAY
Also, I always paid for all my training ahead of time every time. When I told him I would not be flying with him anymore because he is a scumbag he told me I owed him $1200 ($600 from unpaid training and $600 from flights he said were free because of canceled checkrides). I told him I would see him in small claims court, he never followed through.
To add on to the sexual favors part. He once asked my ex to take off her shirt. He would always invite her onto his boat or to go do stuff with him. She had zero interest and would always decline. She confided in me that he creeped her out and was always trying to get in her pants.
