I got a 4 year degree including tuition, university taught PVT-CFII, and had a lot of extraneous fun for HALF that cost. (Not Riddle or UND)

Save your money and go to anywhere else other than that outrageous money pit.

Part 61 FBO works just as well.

I attended the "Academy". It ranks as #2 of the worst decisions I've made in my entire life. In my opinion (and experience) Delta Connection Academy's (aka Comair Academy) mission is to seperate the student from their money, flight training is incidental to this goal. It was once said; there are only two kinds of people in Florida, crooks and victims. I believe it's true.

I hadn't heard that one, but it sums it up perfectly at least as far as flight training is concerned.

Anybody who wants a career in aviation without a government subsidy (military), That's who. It's called working for a living and paying your dues! After all, whats a $100,000 compared to $5,000,000 in earnings?
