My Instructors are great my education is amazing, nobody slides under the radar there. High standard are held though all of my training so far... I'm pleased with my decision, o String682 and anyone who decides on a school because of the "benefits" & name are kinda dumb. All I care about is the knowledge and quality I'm getting.
Dude, I have friends in your standz department and line instructors. I just left there as an instructor last year. You cannot be that far into ALL your ratings if you say you have not broken atleast the 60K marker. Cost for me was 75K starting at inst - CFI, PVT was at another place. This was the price I paied before it turned to a cirrus fleet, where an CFII ADD-On was quoted already at close to 7gs and no one in my class spent uner 9gs for it. Last time I had coffee with my buddies their they told me the cost has gone up over all. Now I am not saing it is not worth it, after all I drive an CRJ now but don't say DCA doesnt cost as much as these ppl say it does. At the end of the day, anyone who goes through the progam will pay out ATLEAST 75K Pvt-MEI (under old program) and that would be if you are a superstar.
