Them Chinks are gone now. Contract ran out, and they all packed up and headed west.
.

Was that really necessary?
What ephithet might you have used had the students been from Africa, Italy, or Poland? I can't imagine your racial slurs are going to carry you far in your aviation career, or do much to help the image of pilots in general.

My wife's almost been widowed twice because I've been within seconds of having a midair collisions (in a jet) with these guys because they refuse to make proper ATC calls, and fail to follow proper traffic patterns and protocols. Sorry if I don't have a soft place in my hearts for these people.

And also the fact that MANY american students were put on the backburner while the Chinese got priority at this school - simply because they were worth more money to the school.

And just for the record, I don't use the term Chink in a derogatory way that the "N-Word" would be used - and I'm anything but racist. Relax a little...

Hi all, new to the board, I'm paying $80 an hour wet for the 152, with 30 to the instructor. I imagine it's not so much the amount of money you spend, but more in line with how much you are willing to put into the effort.. 4-5 grand for a pvt is probably the average.. my school tells new students it takes an average of 60 hours and 6k to get a pvt. I refuse to spend that much, but the east coast weather is only now starting to be nice, flying weather around the corner..

I sell about one CPC kit a day. It's a decent program and tends to get people done quickly. Are you a 141 student?
