Question American Flyers Internship

Anyone had any experience with these guys? Perhaps someone is on the internship at present? Is it a good school? Forgive my ignorance I have no idea about US flight schools.

I'm thinking about it but not sure how genuine the whole thing is. The information I have basically reads like this:

After a student has completed their flight instructor ratings they will then be enrolled into the ATP program. In this program and as part of your course you will instruct other students, not as an employee but as part of the course requirement. This will continue for 9 months of enrolment in the school. A small allowance is paid, not a wage, allowing you to remain on the I-20 (also known as the M-1 student visa).

After this period you may then interview for employment as a flight instructor at American Flyers. If selected you would then be able to work as a paid employee of American Flyers. (Assuming you have a visa that permits employment).
Does this mean that they sponsor Greencard applications?

Any posts good or bad would be appreciated.
