It does not cost nearly $220/hr. at Delta Connection Academy. Its more than $50/hr. cheaper than that. Im not tryin to say its cheap thats for sure, but lets not throw crazy numbers like that out there. And to comment on that by saying thats crazy i paid $55 an hour then throw in there that u didnt have to pay for an instructor and it was years ago before gas got out of control is kinda silly too.
We all know flight training isnt cheap, and Delta is definitely more expensive than most places. But i started part 61 at my local FBO in NY and was paying more per hour than what i paid at the academy as a student. Its all relative.
