Delta Connection Academy...THOUGHTS????

Momike, IF you really are a student, you do realize they take what instructors say about students into account when it comes to working here. That is if your not really *****. I find it strange that ***** magically disappeared off the board over the last 2 weeks.
WELCOME BACK!!!! I've missed your banter.

Ha! You got edited AGAIN by a mod for using names. Thank you Mr. Longhorn! I watched this entire debacle between you, bufettk, mnixon, TRG and the rest. Don't you DCA homies ever LEARN? I hope you get slammed to the penalty box for good!

I have never seen someone talk so much without saying anything?

Momike or whatever your name is, cut the B.S. out. I personally know Jagboy69 and he is an excellent instructor. I've flown with some of his students and they said he was a complete professional. That guy has a great attitude towards students and always puts them first.

I could not agree with you more. I also know him personally as well and think that he is one of the most professional and exemplary instructors that “said” school has to offer. Some people on this forum think Jagboy and I are the same person, but that is not the case at all. In case there is any wonder, I'm in a state that rimes with ass. As for Jag.... Somewhere south!! Hope everyone can figure it out!!!!


As for you momike(F'ing MO-MO): You are obviously some angry CFII wanna be that just can't cut it. Where do you get off? I've seen your other posts.....Racially, ethnically and sexually motivated. Oh, and I almost forgot, you think you're a movie critique. Cannon ball, cannon ball coming!!!!

Have you guys noticed that since old boy got banned it got real quiet. Let's let this thread die.

Why is it that I was the last one to post on this article and amazingly on the main page says that the last post was yesterday? Mod's care to stop screwing around with this thread?

Bull crap

Why? We fly the same way Comair does. Maybe slightly different profiles.

However, he is incorrect that Comair is a training airline. GIA is a training airline for a small percentage of the F/O's that are in the program.

I completely agree with you on that one!!! DCA is a joke when it comes to real world experience. DCA trains their pilots to believe that there is only one way to fly: theirs. Those guys have a hard time outside their element. When I was instructing at GIA I had a few DCA CFIs under me that wouldn't leave DCA procedures and learn ours. It took us months to standardize them. One of them actually told me that students didn't need to learn slips to landing because "they will never have to do it in the airlines". Give me a frickin break!

Honestly, like I've always said:

It doesn't matter where you learn to fly. As long as you do it well and you know your sh!t. Some pilots from DCA will be eceptional. Some will be a discrace to the industry. Same goes with FSI, GIA, ERAU, and the list goes on. It also doesn't matter how many hours you have. A lot of people have it in their heads that a full logbook is a right of passage or a show of skill. It is simply not true.

This statment isnt true as well , these are taught and are part of the program you lame ass

Wow DCA hasn't gone out of business yet?

Keybank Loan...............$100k
Time Spent @ DCA.........1.5 years
Susan Burrell's Mercedes..$80K
Bar Tabs .......................$5k
First Instructing job after
not getting hired at DCA....$20 per hr
AVG Regional salary........maybe $20K (might be pushing it)

$625.86 Loan payment per month for the next 20 years of my life...............PRICELESS

Do not go to DCA way too expensive. I wish I had done my homework on went a cheaper route. Anyone off the street can get the same interviews. Good training, met a alot of friends half have been furloughed already. Had alot of good times. Place seems to be going downhill every year.

I don't know what she was driving when you were there maybe she toned down, but that AMG Mercedes she had when I was there was easy over 100K. In case anyone was interested where the money goes it goes into the pockets of the admissions guys (ie salesman), clever marketing, and the guys with the offices.

I'm going to get on a soap box and vent again:
Blowing my money there pisses me off to this day; 4 years later flying and for the USAF, I still send a $500 a month payment to Key Bank. I don't know what they do now but I was straight lied to about the costs and time involved. I was shown an average cost chart which was completely flawed. Once I got it figured out through pulling teeth with my instructors how much the real average cost is, I got out. It cost me about 46K through single commercial. Flying garbage planes that I would be scared to fly these days.
This had nothing to do with lack of skills and most anyone one who has flown with me military and civilian can honestly say that I am a good stick. Although that was what DCA told me when I inquired as to why my fees were way high. The only guys who came close to the average costs and this was very few people. Were those who were #1 good pilots and #2 had instructors who made sure to cut corners so they didn't get raped by the costs. I had this during my instrument phase and mad it under average costs but got raped during private and comm. After not flying a plane for 8 months a was able to get my Multi comm in 7 hours including the FAA ride. So my skills were not the issue in my opinion.
Off soap box back to trying to forget that POS place.

In case anyone is still up for suing this place I'm still for it but I will not be the one organizing. I don't have the time or the legal connections.

When I left the latest line of crap management was throwing out there was anyone who tried to sue wouldnt ever get a job at the regionals. This place truly is a joke.
