V1 rotate;

I cannot PM you so here goes...

I personally did a modular course and i just finished my CFI and i think the school is Decent overall. You are pretty much guaranteed a job when you complete the pro course, and most of the flying is done in multiengine aircraft.

1: Customer service;
Depends who you talk to, Mike has a very good sense for it but TJ is very unpleasant.

2: Scheduling Is not always great, you need to stay on-top of the schedule and cancellations do occur due to the old planes.

3:The pro-course will probably take you 8-12 months to complete

4: the Maintenance guys are good but the planes are less reliable than brand-new ones

5: the quality of instruction is fair, most of the pilots are inexperienced

6; Prices are realistic, but there are always unforeseen costs. I put 25% ontop of all the prices i was given and managed fine.

7: talk to mike about the J-1 visa, Alot of guys at the school are foreigners, (including myself).

I would like to find out about your experiences there since I am interested in their professional pilot 200h ME course.

Your experience with regards to the following would be appreciated :

Customer Service

Efficiency of scheduling vs unnecessary delays

Probability of finishing the Prof.Pilot program in 6 months

Maintenance practices and aircraft reliabilty

Quality of Instruction

Experience of International Students(if you knew any personally) (J-1 visa)
