For those looking for some stability, it might be better to stick out your desk job and CFI over weekends. It might take you 5 years, but at least you’ll be a little better off for the time being.

And to the other poster, no, our DA40s do not have the AC option. I’m not sure how that rumor started. Three out of the five DA42s do have AC though so maybe that’s where it came from?

I am glad I left LIFT then. My tuition ended up being $16000 for 35 hours of flight which took 6 months (4 months if you exclude the 2 months they were shut down for covid ). I don't even have the private license yet. I made myself available 24/7 on call for getting my hours so I did not get a job .
All current students are bound by the contracts they signed. Most contracts indicate that tuition is based on how many months you have been at the program , and not the amount of hours or ratings you have accomplished.
Because of this, I know guys who are stuck there, because if they left they'd pay over 40K even though they don't have their PPL.

Its sad to see how things have changed. They have a new class starting this month and it sounds like many are pulling out because Lift removed the finance option and they cannot get funded elsewhere.

85K with no financing option? If true, there is zero reason to attend LIFT anymore when there are plenty of other programs out there that cost less and provide financing options. It looks like a blessing that attending LIFT didnt work out for me. This is really a shame, i thought the program had alot of potential.
