OK guys here is the current situation at EFT:
2 full time instructors, 1 part time (although most of time the 3 are present).
Aircraft are owned and shared with Ari Ben Aviator. They are very very old and in terrible condition. By the end of today only 1 twin and 3 cessnas were flyable, and only just. The aircraft are worst I have seen, very poor condition and flown day and night, with little time allowed for servicing and upkeep. Only 1 or 2 cessnas have all navaids working.
With 3 instructors, they have almost 30 students and are due to have more in the next week. If you call they will tell you they can fit you in. Lots of students taking time off work to be here, and then going home without the license / rating that they came here for.
Also, in the last 3 weeks 2 twins (ari-ben aviator aircraft) have landed gear up. Word is that the FAA are closing in, its getting unsafe here.
I am only one person, but most of the students (at EFT at least) feel the same.
The instructors good at their job, but they have far too much students and charging too much for very bad aircraft. I could tolerate the aircraft but I would need to fly to do so! Schedule system is also the worst.
Needless to say I'm not amused
