Air Richelieiu Vs Cargair Vs Eid Air

[Ramjet555]

- A fresh post, from a one post poster, on another Forum that appears to be an excuse to promote one school while dumping on Air Richelieiu.

I was wondering if you can recommand me air richelieu or Cargair or eid air in sherbrooke? which one has cheaper rates, high quality and well organized?

So far i've heared that cargair had some rates discount, but seems for a period only...

Any how, just want to know more about these schools (I called them and all say they are the best)...hard to believe...


thanks

The comments regarding Air Richelieiu are unfair. They have an impressive collection off instructors, facilities and aircraft,
that includes a Decathalon.

Cargair is much larger, with a fleet of 40 aircraft at TWO bases, Being also at St.Hubert and Mascouche, on the north shore.
They do not have a Decathalon.

While Cargair is a slick professional operation, Accueil is a smaller flight school, in Sherbrooke and would be a favorite for those live near by. Their web site is in French only. From my perspective, as French is not one of my languages, I know not to even send them a resume. There are a number of schools in Quebec that place French Language as a priority.

Quebec has a number of floundering schools, losing money had over fist because they ignore the English speaking prospective students
for apparently no other reason than political correctness. That means, instructors who like French but dont have it as a first language
end up being ruled out even when they have rare experience.


Other schools might actually ask what other languages do you speak, what foreign ratings you hold etc.

As Class One Aerobatic Instructor, in Montreal, Air Richelieiu would be my choice for employment and or training. They have a friendly communicative style that I found a pleasant experience.

They also seek out experienced instructors for their staff rather than the incestuous hiring process that goes on in many schools that breeds out experience by hiring their own inexperienced instructors who are the product of the same incestuous process.


I'd suggest readers take a view at both web sites which speak volumes.

The pictures and details of the staff at Air Richelieiu speak for themselves.
