Thanks for some of the direct messages. Here is some of your feedback. Thoughts?
Sounds like a decent school, but they seems like they have growth problems. Not enough planes, which affects time for both students and CFIs.
They are adding locations and students with no additional planes in site. Stealing planes from AZ for CA.
I hope this is worked out for next summer if my nephew decides to go there.
ATP May be a better option.
Small schools don稚 offer students financing.
Any other ideas?

Sorry to hijack the thread a little but I have a nephew interested in persuing aviation. He asked me about Southern Utah University. SUU is making claims about a pipeline to Skywest and some form of tuition reimbursement. Anyone have any insight or experience with this program?
Thanks

The pipeline is not needed. It's a ploy to fill the flight school with students and SkyWest with new hires that don't know any better.
I would absolutely NOT sign with any one regional (SkyWest or otherwise) years from taking a job.
The regional airlines are especially volatile and locking yourself into a stagnant mess would be crazy and potentially cost years of seniority at a major/LCC. Go learn to fly on the cheap, CFI like crazy and see what company is attractive in 2-4 years when all this is complete.
