I have to agree with Claude-CPS. I think the problem in online forums is that you always hear about the negative stories. This or that school went out of business and took all of the students' money and on and on.
What you don't hear about are some of the help provided to those students by other flight schools. Or schools that work within an ethical framework to make sure their students are taken care of. It would be nice to hear the positive stories instead of the negative!
