Not sure if the original intent of this post was to be serious or troll.

Regardless, this thread has been hilarious.

I would not call it the best, though. I did not do my training there, but I am doing an online degree through them. Fact is, you can't get any real IFR experience flying in Daytona. I learned in the NE where we were always dealing with crap weather. It just makes you overall a better pilot. I have also met a few ERAU grads that felt entitle to some sort of shiny jet, but I'm sure there are plenty of those at other schools as well. Just being the biggest and most expensive does not make you the best.

That is hilarious.

By never exposing them to real world flying, they are sending very UNSAFE pilots out into the world.

What they are doing is withholding real experience that could someday save their lives.

Except he knows too much about flight school competition records.

I'm 90% sure he is... After his last couple posts it started becoming more obvious. Funny, none the less!

Yes, very unsafe flying those G1000, synthetic vision aircraft around in anything less than severe clear.... HA

My life is my family. My job is flying. It's a necessary distinction. The latter provides nicely for the former.

And it's been moved to die. Good times. I'm checking out.

Definitely funny, and informative. I honestly never imagined there was a 141 school out there that prohibited flight into actual IMC. That's actually both scary and disappointing.
