I went over to have a look at the school in May last year, for a possible conversion of my Aussie licence to the US equivalent. The facility is quite ok, a bit old(was the original airport hotel).

They seem to be be quite busy but the aircraft look like they have a lot of hrs on them, and there dd seem to be a lot of aircraft in the maintenance hangar.

At the rate of pay they were offering at the time ($13 USD per flight hr), 70 hrs a month is simply not enough to survive. Rents in even the bad areas of Oakland are eye watering.
