Default Falcon Aviation Academy

Hello all,
I was wondering if there are any current CFIs or anyone with recent experience with Falcon Aviation in Atlanta, Ga. I talked with the recruiter recently and he is promising all these hours like 100-160 a month. That seems like quite a bit of flying per month. I was just wondering if anyone has experience with them and some of the pros and cons with them.
Thanks in advance!

2 full time students means:
4 flights a day + ground school
that's 6hrs/day flying
for 20 days/month is 120 hrs/ month.....

So....the 160hr number may seem a little high but its doable.
I assume they have foreign training contracts to push these types of numbers.

I'm a current flight instructor there and those numbers are true. These next few months may be a little slow due to the weather but other than that you can easily get 100+. These past five days I've flown for 8 hours per day and my schedule is packed with flights for days to come. It's a part 141 school so your students are here to fly and that's their only task. You can fly with them at any hour and if you let the scheduler know that you're free then they will put you with another student, even if that person is not one of your 3 students. If you're willing to put in the time then the flights are yours. PM me if you have any questions, I would be glad to answer them.
