Default Type Rating School

Hi all,

I'm new to the forums and am looking for anyone with any knowledge or experience with Bond Aviation Service. I am looking at getting a Boeing type rating and haven't ready anything about this particular flight school, does anyone have any thing good or bad to say about them? Thanks much,

Chris

I have heard that it took longer than expected, like way more time than promised. But maybe a one time event.

I know a guy who paid for the 737 type and only got 11 hours of simulator time out of the deal. That was 9 hours training and a 2 hour checkride. He said that the ground school was sufficient but Mr. Bond jerked him around when it came to scheduling the simulator and definitely screwed him for the time he paid for.

Anyways, long story short, he ended up getting his money back and keeping the type rating.

Good luck.

Thanks for the information, wow that doesn't sound good with the sim time, I see they state on the site, 24 hours of simulator time...

I'm looking into their 767 program as it costs $8,500 and I was initially looking at CAE where a CRJ program is $11,000 and the difference is marginal for what it is, but it will help pay off hotel, food, etc while I get it done...

Are you a US citizen? How much flight time do you have?

Why, in this climate, would you pursue either a 757/767 or a CRJ type rating...especially with no type in type?

No flame, just curious.
