Having personal experience with both Chuck and his instructors I am pleased to report that all bar one of the above postees are sprouting absolute bullsh!t.

It is a fun, professional, customer based school. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

Yes I did 'shop around' but I am not a fan of the 'pretentious attitude' down the taxiway, nor the McDonalds type of training next door, professional as it was (yeah, before he moved). I wanted some 'hangar spirit'.

I am (as usual) saddened by the back biting garbage that goes on here, and note the usual culprits.

CFI, I expected better. How would you feel if the hounds came after your reputation!!!!

Gaunt, get back to chucking rocks at AOPA, you do less harm there, people have come to expect it. Leave aviation to aviators!!!

Maximus, you are entitled to your opinion. However there are those of us who know the bigger picture and disagree with you. Why do you think there are so many if we a dissembling?
Oh yes, it's a conspiracy.

Max, I think you are mising an important point here. The original poster was enquiring about the operation from a potential employees position.

Your positive experience was from a customers point of view. Big difference.

I too have been a customer of Air America, several times since the late 80's. No complaints from me either. Great place to learn to fly, however I would hate to work there.

That is certainly part of the reason for a different view. However a dishonest, untrustworthy and ignorant employer remains the same if you are a customer or an employee.

Q

I personally know of 2 people who worked there in the mid-90's. I had a few beers and discussed 'Chuck' and Air America generally. They expressed no concerns.

By the way, Chuck never once tried to convince me he was other than an entrpreneurial F4 backseater.

Icarus...bit out of your patch isn't it???
