Default Changing flight school (AGAIN)

This is going to be my third flight school. I'm trying to get my PPL, but the school I was flying from lost the CFI (he got hired by a regional), so now I have to find another flight school. The thing that sucks is that, I already solod, so I have to find one that have a Cessna 150 so that I don't have to re-solo which shouldn't be difficult. Probably, my new school is going to be KGTU or KTPL.

They didn't rip me off, they one had one CFI, it's a new flight school, only been operational for about 1 month. I would stay, but I want to get my PPL ASAP.

You were at KILE, right? What school? I know there are a couple there now. I can tell you where NOT to go at GTU...drop me a PM if you want to know.

I don't generally like bad mouthing other flight schools, but I would have to agree. I have heard some some stuff about one of the flight schools at GTU. If it's the same one you're talking about, and I think it is, then I wouldn't go there either based off of what I have heard.

Yeah, that's why I told him to PM me. I wouldn't bad mouth them in an open forum, but if anyone wants to know about my personal experience with said flight school, I'll be more than happy to tell them via PM.
