Like I stated my location was in Pompano Beach,(NOTICE ABOVE STATEMENT-I cannot speak for other locations) and it was some of the best training I've recieved with some of the best instructors I know. Sorry you had such a bad experience but labeling all of the schools bad because your location sucked is just not right. I forgot thoe that I heard a while back that they were only going to do the CFI Academys at a couple of the schools, if this is true than I would def. do as stated above and go and talk to some of the currently enrolled students. Once again thoe the Pompano Beach Instructors for the most part are all exprerienced guys who have alot of aviation background and knowledge-good luck in whatever you choose to do, I am not affiliated at all with A.F. just a happy satisfied former customer and CFI/II Academy graduate.
