Wanted to say "Hello"

Good luck on your new career. I think you picked a good time to start your training. Train on the downcycle....

Personally, I picked FSI. When you see threads about the various schools down there, you'll notice that there will be a lot of School X vs. FSI, School Y vs. FSI, etc. etc. etc. There is a reason for that. FSI is the standard. They train the flight crews for 35 heads of state, for goodness sake! You won't find a negative thread (beyond the occasional complaint) about FSI on this board or any of the other usual ones.

Definately check out jetcareers.com, excellent site without a lot of the knuckleheads and negativity that seem prevelant on some boards (ilsapproach, for example).

Whatever you decide, remember:

1. You are a student, but also a customer. Demand good customer service and safe aircraft.

2. Don't buy a job.

3. No school can guaruntee you a job, regardless of their claims.

4. Don't be afraid to change instructors if you aren't getting along, remember Rule #1!

5. Have fun! Never forget why you started down this confusing and frustrating path.

There are people at FlightSafety with whom I worked when I was there ten years ago. Send me a private if you want their names.

don't go to PANAM they milk you for ur money and fly u rediculious amount of hours for ur ratings. may be FSI but there are lots of other flight school in FL. just follow the guide line given by others on this message and find a good one that suits ur need. if you have tons of money to spare then go where ever u want to. only big names of flight schools doesn't matter, what does matter is ur flying standerd and ability.
good luck in ur career..
