Looking back, regarding Journey´s aviation, they had decent aircraft and the staff were very friendly. Keep in mind, this was about 5 and a half years ago, so things might be different, but might be the same. They had a couple money making tricks... first of all, they would offer a discount if you put up a credit. I chose to pay full price and pay as I went. Secondly, they had a membership fee. It was $50 per month. if you didn´t want to be a member, then you pay $15 extra per lesson. So if you fly four times per month or more, it was worth it to be a member.

Lastly, and most importantly, the instructors were contract workers. I assume this was to save the company money. So, if you plan on working up through CFI and then working at the school, keep this in mind. Otherwise, I thought the school was quite nice.
