I really don't know more about it. I know a few pilots that have gone and liked it. I haven't heard any negative comments about it. I think you have to have your writtens done when you go. It's simular to the ATP program, call and ask to be sure. Like I said, I've only heard from other pilots that have gone.

I guess I've been outta the state for too long. I look at the rates now and cringe about getting back into it once out of the military. I used to fly out of Mankato and the rates were pretty reasonable 7 years ago. I'm sure that's all changed now. Guess I better save my money now
