Has anyone worked for or gone through any training with Vortex Air Elite training academy or cadet ship.
they seem to own Tasfast as well, does anyone know what there hiring policy is like?

Their hiring policy is 'if you've got the money, you're in!'

I've had a chat with the CFI there, saying if you go through the whole "Cadet" training course you could be looking at 50 to 100 hours of ICUS in a PA-31

The employment was as a casual and hours depending on the time of year.

so in there case start to finish of training working up to CPL an ME CIR is advertised as just under $90,000 with 50 to 100 ICUS of a PA-31(apparently this increases from 50 to near 100 if you pay for the whole course)

If you were to get this would it give you a fighting chance to GA jobs in or near cities.
my line of thought being, with a previous career and skillset to fall back on casual hours are not necessarily a bad thing, could make managing a second job workable while building hours for pay instead of paying further.

No vet so need to find $90k.

They were looking for a Chief Pilot last month, did they get someone?
