Another closure
 

AeronautX Flight Training, LLC located at North County General Aviation Airport (F45) in Palm Beach County, FL has closed. Here is a copy of the email that I got today.

It's unfortuate that another school has closed. I believe that this one closed for lack of students and not because of any underhanded shananigans going on. I had once considered on attending this training facility.

no real suprise, aviation is in uncharted territory right now for sure....

many more to come, I fear

Hopefully this and many others are a warning not to pay a large sum of money upfront for flight training.

I almost paid 120k plus for atp... I am so glad I didn't.

Also, in this unstable economy, my job still has good security...

Rumor has it that there are some students that lost A LOT of money when these guys closed up last week.

I know I've heard your signature quote before... but I can't for the life of me remember where it came from.... I wanna say it was from 'Thank you for smoking' but I'm not sure.

wrx:

Probably is true. I visited the school a few times just to check things out. Never really saw students "buzzing" around the briefing rooms like I've seen at other schools. Besides they were expensive as hell.



atp

Yeah I called them mid August to see if they were hiring, and got a interesting response from the them. Best of luck to the instructors

Do not put all your eggs into one basket
 

ref wrxpilot, yes, I was one of the unfortunate instructors working at the flight school. I had a student who invested a 5 figure sum of money after transferring to this school. Both students and instructors were " blind sided"

Good God! $120K to ATP? What was that going to buy you... an ATP with 1000 hours TPIC and a PhD in "Aviation Management"?

I'm glad you didn't too.
