About Aviation Atlanta....................they sucked down 70 Grand of my hard earned, came out w/ only my Commercial Multi. They killed me w/ all those damn stage checks, went through four instructors all together some excellent and some just marginal. Instructing there is hell as most of the instructors seemed a little disgruntled and some a little burnt out from instructing, Ol Phil Sanders has'em sittin like kids in a playpen for a full eight hours regardless of if they have students or not, I beleive he makes them sign a 1 year contract......................Their a 141 school which means it's somewhat structered compared to the ol' mom n' pop outfits I've seen, just be prepared to spend more, alot more!.....................If I had to do it all over I would have started w/ a private instructor to save the extra cash, or just went through ALL ATPS, the instructors there seem to just hit around 700ish or less and poof their on w/ Expressjet...............Aviation Atlanta doesn't have the job connections like that.........Their C.P. is one of the most knowlegable individuals I have ever encounterd in Aviation...................The 172's are decently maintained but qiute old, no GPS in any aircraft.
