Delta Connection Academy having big problems
As a Delta Connection Academy alumni I still keep in close contact with friends who work at the academy, some in management. The big academy bosses in Atlanta are going to be cleaning some house with the upper management at the Academy because they can not keep instructors to stay because of crappy pay and work rules. Instructors are over worked and students are lucky to get one event a day with their instructors.
Why does this matter to you, the prespective student? Well the new Cirrus SR20's go for $350 per hour with fuel and instructor and the less you get to fly per day the more time and money your course will cost. Also since they are losing instructors they are hiring students to instruct after receiving their CFI intial (this was never the case before, you had to have your CFII as well). The previously selective and difficult hiring process is so laxed now anyone can work there, and trust me there are many dopes instructing there who would never of been hired before.
Plus most of the CFI's there hate that place so much it is starting to show in their training.
Just a note if you are thinking about them.
