Well, they advocate 'interning' as a pilot(aka paying for your job) and then try and sell you a jet transition course. Another place for SJSers to waste their money.

Looks like the same bull$hit that Tab Express was trying to peddle. Stay away, they don' care about you- only your money.

I'd bet my a$$ it's the same crooks that started Tab. I'm gonna call them up today and pretend I'm an SJSer to find out the dillyo and report back tonight.

And I thought training in a Cirrus was ridiculously expensive... How could training in a King Air possibly be considered a good idea by -anybody-?

$71K for the CPL rating and $10K - $25K more to buy "line experience"?

Plug the total cost into the calculator at the bottom of this article and see the real cost of a pilot education. I think the numbers should speak for themselves.
