are you at reno or vegas? NPA is a relatively unknown school, they don't advertise, no info packets or brochures, the only way to know about the program is to call or drop by their facilities. Not that many on this site know about NPA either. It is true that many graduates go on to Skywest, like it said on their website, this was confirmed by a Skywest pilot recruiting lady I talked to. She emphasised however that they don't guarantee a job to NPA graduates. INMO this is the only plus side to the school, the program itself doesn't seem anything special. Just standard single engine training with higher performance aircraft. The 50k is what turned me off and I don't think it's a flat rate either.
