How can they offer 1500 hours flight time?!?!

Well, if you were reading their web-site carefully, they are offering 1500 hours of flight time through the structured flight instructor internship, using F-1 (student) visa benefits.

How does this work? Very simple. Your $49,995 is paying for 6 months of accommodation and flight training. (Please note that government fees are not included: $5000 USD for FAA, USCIS, TSA and SEVIS fees). After obtaining your CPL and CFI licenses, you are free to stay on as a flight instructor. The FTP will be paying you $20 per hour and you will be able to work up to 80 hours per month (limitation of F-1 visa). After obtaining your 1500 hours of flight time, you can apply for FAA ATPL.

Questions?....
