Thanks for the tip and for replying! I will definately head down there and check out the place. I'm hoping it's alright. I realized that in my last post, I didn't say that I was interested in the CFI/CFII academy there. If anyone has any information on that, I would really appreciate your thoughts. And, as I said before, good or bad, I'd like to hear them all. As to what you said about the managers and tending to the rich folk before the career oriented students, that sounds messed up. Did you have the unfortunate experience of going to AF? Please, please, if there is anyone out there who has gone to AF in Santa Monica, please share your experience with me. You have no idea how grateful I will be to you! Thanks a bunch!
