NA1500 (whoever you are). With regard to your first post...
So many hours have been flown by the university students this summer that it is reasonable to expect every new student will have their PPL by the end of October. Most of them completed their qualifying cross country flight by the end of their initial 3-week block and the students themselves seem to have great things to say about their experience with Advanced Flight Training.
I addition to that, there are many second (to third) year students who started their instruction with CFS (good instruction it was too) over a year ago and have had to come to Advanced to finish off. Many have already passed their skills tests since they started, and again all will be complete by the end of October. I do feel sorry for these students, it is not ideal for them to have to change schools and aircraft, but the students themselves seem happy with the progress they have made since the change.
