hey coastrider, sure you can come by and check it out next time you are in kwi ;-) i did all my research back then and went with asg because they were offering the best package for me. i was very lucky because i upgraded after 1 year to captain and continued flying with the certificate holder until sept 2005. the research that i did was very detailed and there was no sign of scam back then. i talked to co pilots in the program, to operators, researched the internet and went to the main office of the certificate holder. everything looked very good so i decided to go for it. it was back then. different story nowadays ;-) i think that asg is scamming now and wouldn't trust them with anything.
