soseg: What makes you think they have such a good reputation? That's absolute crap. The only reputation they have outside of MB is for being able to screw their instructors and churn out students who are quite one-dimensional.
Ever since they brought in the G1000s, stopped all unsealed ops and had a million cadets going through the standard was always going to slip. Now hear me, they do churn out "safe" pilots, but probably not very highly skilled ones who have their abilities really tested.
