That's right, the propaganda machine is running again and dumb kids are signing up for 120k training programs. Old ratty 172s and Cherokee 140s are fetching over 40k. New schools are paying the help over 50k for what has historically been a minimum wage job. You want a sure thing, start a scumbag flight school!
