These statements make my skin crawl, and STILL you go.
Pardon me, but some students really deserve to end up being ripped off.
That many warnings and still go there.........
I find this a rather harsh judgement.
There is negative feedback on all of the JAA/EASA schools in North America. After all, it's not that many and it's the nature of forums like this to put the spot light on what's NOT good.
When I had to make a pick, I felt that I had the choice between pest and cholera, as we'd put it in German. When I finally got to California, I saw that some things were good and some things were bad - yet not nearly as bad as some people make them out to be. In any case I had a hell of a good time in the US and I learned to fly.
At the end of the day, what really matters is that you have a competent and sensible instructor - wherever that may be.
