    CFI Programs

    Do you just want the rating or do you want be able to get a job? I suggest you find a quality FBO and impress the hell out of them while you are earning your CFI. In the current job market that is your best bet in getting hired. The problem with all of the places mentioned above is that there...

    Would you go to Brazil for a flying job?

    I dream of flying Jets out of GIG (Rio) My first trip there changed my entire perspective on life. The peoples passion for life is intoxicating. And the women!! In Brazil there are more women then men and Brazilian men are often abusive. An American man who is a pilot would be treated...

    Flying to the Bahamas

    I highly recommend a flight to the Bahamas. We have people going to the Bahamas almost weekly from my school in Florida and the vast majority have a great time. The Bahamaian government is pro aviation so there is little hassle. Check out www.flying.bahamas.com

    Flight Training Financing Part61 School

    I believe the flight school has to be affiliated with some type of college.

    Banner Towing?

    Never done it... but I know that most of the operators have crappy reputations. It's a hard business to make a profit at so any where they can cut costs they do...maintenance, pay, insurance. The place in Myrtle Beach, as stated above, basically you're flying for free. The insurance story...

    IFR training material

    While doing your ground school, back seat other students instrument flights. You can gain valuable experience watching someone else make mistakes and it's free. If you are in an academic environment, backseating is probably a common occurrence. It's less common at Part 61 schools but your...

    Shebles flight school

    I concur with the other postings about Shebles. I earned my initial Commercial at the Henderson location about a year ago. They are good at preparing people for a checkride but as far teaching an entire instrument course... If you want to do your IFR rating quickly I would recommend...

    Honeymoon Ideas...

    My 2 cents I think Hawaii is superior to Mexico, the Bahamas, and most of the Caribbean. St Barts is great but is very expensive. St. Maarten is a little more reasonable. A cruise is a good bet and a good bargain because the industry swimming in capacity. If you want something exotic, the...

    Multi-Engine Training

    If he is only interested in getting the rating, I concur with going to All ATP. I've completed training evolutions at quite a few places including Shebles and COMAIR and I found ALL ATP's to be the best. Four days and 1500 dollars and I had a COM AMEL.

    COMAIR Academy

    If you really want to find out what the place is like, go there and talk to the students. You will find out that Hovernut tells a very ... optimistic story because he is part of the small minority who is realizing the dream the admissions people are selling. The vast majority of students are...

    Flight Schools (ERAU, Comair)

    Avoid COMAIR at all costs. Making promises they do not keep is just one of the problems. Of course, they do not actually make promises, but those sales people sure make it sound as if a job flying a RJ is a slam-dunk. The reality is far different. If you are interested, go tour the school...

    Comair for CFI?

    Do not believe for an instance that a CFI job is assured if you earn your ratings at Comair. They are only hiring 6 CFI's a month and there is 15 - 20 guys competing for those slots. I'm a student at Comair and heard the same BS from the admissions people. You will get an exellent education...

    CFI Hiring Status???

    I don't know if it's of any use to you in the midwest but Shelbe's in Vegas and Laughlin is still advertising for CFI's. There is also a couple of small schools in the LA area advertising for CFI's of all experience levels.

    RJ's declining importance

    While I don't know the thought process behinds Boyd's conclusions, I believe correct. As the last poster mentioned, the limiting factor of RJ's in the US will be the finite number or runways available. Until September, the trend has been towards larger aircraft to accomodate the ever growing...

    Career CFI questions

    I'm just now working on my CFI so my perspective is limited but I do have quite a bit of business experience so I'll give you my $.02. It seems to me that the key to doing well as an instructor is specializing, finding a niche that people will pay a premium for and that you enjoy. For...

    Comair info please?

    When you say 8-12 new pilots in basic indoc every wednesday do you mean every week or once a month? Is there any talk regarding reducing the number of Delta Connection flights because of the Delta mainline pilots contract?

    Accelerated IFR Courses?

    I know how you feel, I had trouble finding a place to finish my rating. I had about 30 hours of instrument instruction when my instructor left for a 135 job. He couldn't recommend anyone else at the flight club I fly at to finish up with. I finished up my rating with PIC. My PIC instructor...

    American Flyers

    In the current business climate, what are the odds of being hired at AF if you go through the instructor program? How many schools of any type are hiring instructors if you earn a CFI/CFII with them? Thanks

    American Flyers

    Playing the games, the BS, that's why they call it work. At least that's what my boss says. In my corporate job, you need wings to stay above the BS: the knee jerk reactions, the petty turf battles, poor planning, no planning. I know actors making seven figures whom complain about the bull...
