Don’t sweat it, the point went completely over his head, dude

 

I guess so.

 

The first class starts next week. Anyone on here going?

 

sflpilot, thank you for the nuggets you’ve given on this thread - you’ve provided great mentorship here. Sadly, much of it seems to have fallen on deaf ears, but I’ll be running - sprinting - away from this program: there is zero reason to lock into RPA (what is the upside/benefit to doing this?????) and there are plenty of more cost-effective options available for primary training than LIFT. I may yet apply to RPA when I reach ATP mins - I have plenty of work to do to get to that point which means that each of the regional airlines could/will be in a VERY different spot than today - but, in all honesty, I’ve lost some respect for RPA as a company as details of this program have emerged through “interviewee” accounts on this thread versus what had been loosely communicated previously by RPA (now recognized as nothing more than “creative” marketing & PR work, unfortunately).

To those who pursue LIFT, good luck...and I fear you’ll need it. PLEASE re-read sflpilot’s posts on this thread and think critically about it all!

 

Sflpilot has a good point, one can train at a local airport for cheaper than you will be able to a lift. Once a person earns their private pilot certificate, I even recommend buying a cheap plane with a partner and do some time building and training in until they earn all of their certificates then sell the plane. Guarantee, a person will come out paying less then they would have at lift.

I, too, am passing. I will likely bump into some of you at Sandhills or SkyLense.

To those going forward with LIFT, good luck!

 

Im going to AK instead of survey, so I will just see you at American in a few years instead

 

I want to apologize for not getting what you're saying at first. You're absolutely right and for that reason I am passing on LIFT Academy. If it were at a major I might do it but realistically I can still go to Republic if I choose.

 

You get on with RAVN?

 

What’s RAVN?
