Just don't even go there. Read past the glossy brochures, and you will find that Massey graduates are treated with contempt in the real world of aviation, they have about the LOWEST percentage of graduates getting into real airline jobs of virtually any school in the whole country.

Save yourself $100 grand and 3 years wasted of your life and go train at a normal flying school.

If you don't believe me, go stick your head into any crew room of any airline at any airport in the country and ask the first airline pilot you see, what their opinion of the B.Av is and whether they would send their kids to Massey.

I'm not recommending any specific other flying school - but do your research PROPERLY, talk to as many real airline pilots as you can find, and go check out every school you can, and talk to as many people as you possibly can, you'll get the same feedback regarding Massey from virtually every person in the business. Pick any other school you like but I cannot advise you wannabes strongly enough to stay away from that pack of charlatans.
