Stay away from AirEast Airways. Both as a student and charter pilot.

Very shady operation. I'm gonna have to agree w/ Amish ( as heard from 4 pilots I know that worked there previously).

Money and safety issues. Don't trust that lady MT. She's two-faced and the son NT's an all around pr!ck. Not to mention you'll fight for your pay (CFI or charter pilot) and students get milked for time in incredibly beat-up high time pipers. They push their pilots to the point of fatigue and lie to protect themselves. Their 135 yank was warranted.

Magneto:

Does your brother want to actually get an aviation degree or does he just want to get the ratings and have a non-aviation college degree?

If the latter, there are some good flight schools in the FRG and ISP area that aren't affiliated with any college/university.

Plus, SUNY Farmingdale is a state school, as opposed to Dowling, which is private and VERY expensive (not worth it in my opinion for an aviation degree). There are many/better colleges/universities both public and private in the NY area that don't offer aviation programs.

I started about 12 years ago @ D'angelone aviation in Bayport aerodrome. Right from the start I was doing short and soft field takeoffs and landings. Great family atmosphere there, are they still around does anyone know?
