V1 rotate;

I cannot PM you so here goes...

I personally did a modular course and i just finished my CFI and i think the school is Decent overall. You are pretty much guaranteed a job when you complete the pro course, and most of the flying is done in multiengine aircraft.

1: Customer service;
Depends who you talk to, Mike has a very good sense for it but TJ is very unpleasant.

2: Scheduling Is not always great, you need to stay on-top of the schedule and cancellations do occur due to the old planes.

3:The pro-course will probably take you 8-12 months to complete

4: the Maintenance guys are good but the planes are less reliable than brand-new ones

5: the quality of instruction is fair, most of the pilots are inexperienced

6; Prices are realistic, but there are always unforeseen costs. I put 25% ontop of all the prices i was given and managed fine.

7: talk to mike about the J-1 visa, Alot of guys at the school are foreigners, (including myself).

I would like to find out about your experiences there since I am interested in their professional pilot 200h ME course.

Your experience with regards to the following would be appreciated :

Customer Service

Efficiency of scheduling vs unnecessary delays

Probability of finishing the Prof.Pilot program in 6 months

Maintenance practices and aircraft reliabilty

Quality of Instruction

Experience of International Students(if you knew any personally) (J-1 visa)

Management practices

Looking forward to you response

Thanks

You still have a good 20 years of pro flying if you go into the fractional/charter side, they like older faces flying the biz jets anyways. I'm not too sure about airline side obviously if you want to fly regional it's ok but by the time you'd be eligible for the majors you'd be in your 50s, that's pushing it unless the age 65 rule goes into effect.
