Hi guys,
New to this forum and glad to be among you fellows wannabee pilots.
This thread is about hillsboro aviation pilot school in Oregon.
I'd like some some inside intel about the airplane program and the chances to be hired as a CFI, with a preference on multi engine after completion of their program, all this, based on a OPT (f1 visa)
One question emerges when choosing a remote but well known school. Why there ?
Well cause its been a year, i am checking and checking again every school with a descent program (ppl,cpl,ir,mer,sei,cfi, cfii with f1 visa). All i have seen, read and heard about those school mainly situated in Florida, is nothing but negative.
PEA has bad, very bad reputation even among their fellow students.
AVIATOR.edu.....yeah they bought the .edu to make it serious.....they share planes with EFT, students sometimes fly 3 times a week ! Bad management, money stolen and aircrafts in bad conditions etc....about EFT, well i doubt somebody has ever completed their APP program and by the way, their managers (airline pilots both of them) are not in the school 5 days a week and they think this school has a hobby.
Pelican, well , who knows really? I couldnt go there, was in a hurry, but nothing gets out....weird, even their website is fuzzy.
Flight safety...good school......very expensive though and you get just one cfi rating for more than $70 000 !!!!
Aerosim, same thing, good school, very expensive and not enough rating.
So yes Hillsboro Oregon sounds good.....what do you think ?
