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).
