I personally haven't been there but....
I have had several instructor mates who had taken a training break because of the industry to instruct before completing IR.
Now these lads are all good instructors in thier own right.
To a man they have all express there staisfaction with the standard of instructing and also the proffessionalism of the staff. It has not been unique for them to say that they will also be better ppl instructors after the IR course because of the example the instructors showed while teaching them.
The other thing I like is that they seem to teach the whole syllabus and not just teach for the test so some of procedures that they might get away with missing out eg DME arc's get taught by them as standard.
The FO's I have flown with who have completed thier IR have all been competent with exposure to the full tool box of IR skills. Bit rusty and a bit in shock jumping from 90knts approach speed to 140 but they soon settle down.
So as a customer of the product coming out the door I would give them the thumbs up as well.

AFT are a great bunch of instructors, and they will dig out blind for you to help you as much as they can. Cannot recommend them strongly enough, why not stop by one day and have a chat with Brian?
