Yes, you're 100% right on the mark about Aero Services. I was trying to be somewhat reserved about them. I had mulitple friends get totally "screwed" and their (with the WIA) money stolen by Aero Services while getting their Type Ratings. Lot's of hidden costs and fine print like buying a used Yugo. The owner LaForgia is nothing but a jerk and mafia want-a-be. Good thing I got my Type Rating elsewhere when I found out what a pond-scum outfit Aero Services was.
I hope that Southen Air uses their own instructors and just rents out the facility. That's one of my concerns about hiring on with Southern Air and their utilization or collaboration with Aero Services.
