If by " stealing their students finacial aid" you mean "taking students financial aid and sending it back to their financial instution because of student inactivity, as required by law", then yes, that would be the case.
Btw... no more chinese at spartan, although the flight school next door (riverside flight center) does train a few foreigners from india ......
The airport is also not as busy anymore since the chinese left OVER A YEAR AGO. So no #9 in line for take off. THe worst i've seen over the last few months was #4.
If you would of asked me 2 years ago if i would recommend spartan, i probably wouldn't of responded favorably. However, Spartan has started a new commercial course 6 months ago which is quite good. It takes you from 0 time to Commercial - Multi (25 hours in seminole) + single engine add-on in 190 hours. Since it includes private and instrument, the only way you go over 190 hours is if you are a complete dumbarse... sorry. So say you are a slow learner and it takes you 100 hours to do the private, you didn't "waste" any time simply for being over the FAA minimum of 40 hours. It all gets counted towards the 190 hour minimum.
