Why do people believe that Manpreet “Prince” Singh, of American School of Aviation, California duped Over 100 Indian trainee pilots?

Merced, California, June 30, 2008
Darshan Singh/Gary Singh, LA

For the past 3-4 days, it is a hot news: NRI, Manpreet “Prince” Singh, president and chief flight instructor of American School of Aviation, Inc. (ASA), Merced, California has duped more than 100 student pilots form India at Castle Commerce Center, Merced, California. Merced County (pronounced "Mer-SED"), is a county located in the Central Valley of the U.S. state of California, north of Fresno and southeast of San Jose.
Some news media wrote head line news like this:

• More than 100 Indian Students Stranded in USA due to Aviation School shutdown
• California ‘Prince’ dupes aspiring pilots. Students evicted from their accommodation.
• Indian pilot trainees duped by US aviation school

On Friday, more than 100 students were evicted from their dormitories because ASA didn't pay its overdue water bill. Gemini Flight Support have sued American School of Aviation, Inc. (ASA) over $50,000 for unpaid gasoline bills. The students are also demanding $20,000- $30,000 in tuition returned.
Most of the students were transferred to the apartments, rented by ASA and some students are staying with friends. It is also said that some have already gone to India
Last Thursday evening, Manpreet “Prince” Singh owner of the school told the students that he is in the process of opening school in Sacramento, where they would get training. It is also very clear that if he relocate, the students must have to go through Homeland Security for renew visa.
The students from India, paid about $40,000 each for 18 months pilot training to find jobs as pilots in India’s booming civil aviation industry. Most of them said they came to here to fulfill their dreams to become a pilot.
Kirpal Grewal, a teacherin Merced, who lives very near this school and met him few times, told our senior representative that Manpreet “Prince” Singh is a gentle man, well qualified pilot, entrepreneur and had good reputation. Unfortunately, he was behind the bills for the past six months. There may be many reasons, over head cost expenses or gas prices going up. I know that he was doing a great job as a pilot training. I also came to know that he was trying to find an investor who can help him to continue this great project to train Indian young students.
Another gentle man from Merced, Sunil Kumar told us that it can happen to any person. Just think- due to rapidly increasing fuel prices, assume that six months ago he had spent $100,000 for Air flying fuel cost, now he has to pay $140,000. If he had misused the funds, he had to pay the price. Doing business is not a crime, if he did his business honestly and could not get investors...then this is the solution, please read:

Bankruptcy is a legal vehicle that provides relief to individuals and businesses in serious financial trouble and protects their creditors to the extent possible. Generally, the bankruptcy process assesses the debtor's assets and liabilities and provides a structure within which the debtor is allowed to keep some property and ordered to satisfy as many eligible debts as possible, according to an order of priority established by law. Remaining debts are discharged, except those of certain types, like domestic support orders, debt obtained by fraud and most tax debt.

One student said, Reny Kozman, vice-president of the American School of Aviation and her husband, Manpreet Singh, have said that they are trying to sell the business to save it from going bankrupt.
It is also learnt that “Prince” Singh, took 30 students to get training in another flying school in Sacramento, California but remaining 70-plus Indian students turned down the offer because of bad experience in the past months.
Another student said his school advertise and displays logos of all the major Indian airlines and some foreign airlines, giving the false impression of an association with these airlines. After investigation, we found that under LogoS he wrote:

Logos displayed are registered trademarks and service marks of the respected airlines and are used for information purposes only and to illustrate the airlines graduates of American School of Aviation, Inc. are employed by American School of Aviation, by displaying these registered trademarks and service marks, does not imply any affiliation with these airlines nor implies that graduation from American School of Aviation guarantees employment by these airlines. Past results are not indicative of future performance.

According to the India media, only one Kingfisher Airlines issued a letter of intent to the school to consider employing their graduates but after getting the complaints from students, Kingfisher terminated the letter of intent to the school in the first week of June. To confirm this report, our representative contacted Atul Kumria, the regional director of North America, Kingfisher Airlines and he said he is not aware about this issue and call back after corfirming from India his head office

More than 100 Indian Students Stranded in USA due to Aviation School shutdown

Breaking news is coming from California this hour where more than 100 Indian students training to be pilots have been left stranded after their Aviation Academy (American School of Aviation) abruptly shut-down. One of the student emailed me last night with all the details. The students have been served with an eviction notice and asked to vacate the Academy premises by Friday (June 27).
The students were part of a Commercial Pilot Training Programme, jointly run by Kingfisher Airlines and American School of Aviation or ASA. Students claimed they paid 46,000 dollars for the programme.
Following which the students were handed a letter of intent by Kingfisher Airlines in India offering them jobs as co-pilots on completing training with ASA and getting their CPL (Commercial Pilot License) License and subsequent conversion from the DGCA India (Directorate General of Civil Aviation).
However, the school suddenly suspended its flight training last month, claiming their school was being restructured. Students were later told the school had been shut down for defaulting in payments over fuel and insurance bills.
Email further said, “We are students of the American school of Aviation. Our school has been closed for the past six weeks. The management has tried to keep us satisfied by telling us there is a deal going through in order to get the school brought over. But now it turns out none of it is true. They have been just keeping us on hold and today issued a notice telling us to evacuate the academy in the next two days due to the non payment of water and electricity bills.”
A disheartened Dmello (Indian Student) added, “There have been a lot of false promises and we are helpless and have no where to go. We are looking forward to external support from the Indian Embassy and the Indian government. We spoke to Kingfisher and they said that they are looking into the case and are trying their level best to resolve issues.”
