Well, I think we have a couple folks that went there at the site. I think it's a small program but a good deal if a guy wants an aviation degree (Personally, I'd major in something else). You are locked in to flying with the only FBO on the field. Midstate knows that and I've always thought their rates refect it. Still, I think they are pretty reasonable for a college aviation flight school. Just higher than some of the other E WA flight schools. Another option might be Big Bend with a transfer somewhere after you get your ratings and two year degree.

Hopefully someone at APC who's in the program will speak up.

I went to CWU and honestly I would recommend going to UND instead. UND has a much better and bigger school. Bigger schools offer better connections to airlines than what CWU can offer. More pilots hire on to Horizon Air from UND.

Outside of that I would suggest going to CWU and majoring in something other than aviation and getting your flight training outside of the flight department.
