I've never known anyone to get a leg-up because of going there. I don't know of anyone that got a real leg-up because of any flight school. The worst student I've ever had came from there. i've had around 35 of them. The best were guys that weren't even involved in aviation. Aviation degree is complete BS. There is nothing you can't teach yourself by reading. All the aviation knowledge you need is in the FAR/AIM ect. Paying top dollar for it is a waste. Thinking you are going somewhere anyfaster because of where you went is crazy.
