Anybody goto Eastern Michigan university?
Just curious if anyone has been through the flight program. The program looks great on paper but lacking reviews online. Their fleet of aircraft looks second to none in my eyes. Based out of KYIP.
Looking for any insight as what to watch out for and the positives. Thanks ahead of time! |
No, have just heard a lot more about Western in KAZO.

yeah, thats a fact. I was shocked by their medial time for PPL at around 80 hours. Seems lengthy from what I have been told by others at other schools. Just don't want to be milked for more money...

I went there. Also instructed there. Loved it. Message me and I'll tell you anything you want to know :)

I got burned hard over there. I am now at a small FBO along with a few others that went elsewhere after being blatantly lied to about them having the restricted ATP.
There are a few of us looking at legal options right now. Lost a-lot of money over this. |

Are you talking about Eastern Michigan? You just posted the question less than two months ago. Are you saying you already went there and got burnt? More details please.
So needless to say, I spent alot of money for nothing there. So unless they mange to somehow get it in the near future, I am now at a small FBO getting training for $100 an hour less with instructor. Its a shame it went down like this, I really did well in my first semester at the university (ended wed) From what we all could figure out from the denial letters from the FAA, they will never get it until they are wholly owned by EMU. So yes, there are a few of us really unhappy right now. |
Yeah, flight schools attached to universities are in big trouble right now. The issue is finding qualified people to run the program. Those that were running things a few years ago are being plucked away with better paying jobs being a corporate pilot. It is almost impossible these days to find someone with the required flight hours to lead an FAA Approved Part 141 program who can also teach well in a classroom setting and administer a program.
That's the issue going on at my school right now. The head guy is leaving because the university is low balling him on the money. So he said **** it and left for corporate job he was offered. Now there isn't anybody competent to take his place. The program is falling apart. Luckily I am finishing up my last part, CFI, and will be done in a few weeks. The other people in the program are in for some rough times ahead. |
Sorry to hear you guys didn't have a good experience at EMU as I did. Just a FYI, I heard they just recently got the 1000 thing
