The economy may be short changing some people on their dreams to become a professional pilot however, there are some out here that have the resources to start & complete their training. I'm talking PPL to MEI.
For those who do have the resources, I believe that now is the right time to be in training. You'll have more one on one time with an instructor and you can really move at a pace that is beneficial to you. In addition, although some of these schools have fixed prices, I believe that you could possibly go into some of these other schools and negotiate a lower price.
