Default Skymates (Arlington, TX)

Anybody considering Ari-Ben Aviator or ATP might also want to consider Skymates. (www.skymates.com)

I went through their professional pilot program in about 6 months, and had a great experience. The flight instructors are great, the management is on top of things, and the maintenance people take pride in the quality and throughness of their work.

The Seminoles are equipped with very basic avionics (dual nav/coms + DME), but they're inexpensive timebuilding airplanes. Many of the 172's have IFR GPS, and they have 2 new aircraft with the Garmin 1000 glass panel.

Skymate's price is competitive, and living in Arlington is very reasonable. Just a suggestion for anybody who's looking for a career pilot program (or any other flight training, really).
