I’ve heard flight schools are starting to see a rapid rise in applicants. Not sure how to fact check that but I will say that my flight school(a two year program) that cost 65k in 2012 now costs 97k. Not sure what is justifying the rising costs. With that being said, someone I talk to frequently said they are having to reject applicants or delay the process because of CFI availability but the school hasn’t seen this many applicants in years.
