Hello Every One.

My name is Syed im from Hyderabad India.

I have been to Ari Ben Aviator on Aug 24 2009 for Pro Pilot Course.

T.J and Mike has lot of attitude and they just need your money, They charged me 3500 $ USD just for M1 Visa, Books. I flew with them for 4 hours and i quit my flying. The instructors are really bad, aircrafts are very old. I really dont like their school or their way of teaching. This school is scam and i already told to Indian Embassy and Indian Police Commissioner in Hyderabad India and local news papers.

I was their from 25 Aug 2009 till Sept 06 2009. When i cancell my training they complain to Immigration dept. saying i may live in USA illigally in fact i have return ticket by British Airways USA - UK - India. I paid them 35000$ USD in advance before 3 months i travel to USA and they refund me back after 2 months by making lot of calls and emails and requesting.

T.J has full of attitude and she has no ettiquets to talk with any one. She dont respect any one. She treat Student as slave. T.J is a ******* women.

I personally recomend any one NOT to choose Ari Ben Aviator. He waste his time, money.

Thank you.

You had 30 days to leave after your training ended before accruing overstay. If you had arranged to go to another school, the rules say that ari ben must submit the transfer. I have heard of numerous examples of ari ben claiming 'misconduct' when students went looking for another school, and this prevented the transfer. When I transferred, I had the new school contact their state department representative, who then contacted ari ben on my behalf and forced the transfer through.

Never pay up front!

I'd say there's a big clue in the name : Ari ben ..... would be Israeli.

Well, you ought to be happy that you got your money back. Most flight schools today keep all of your money. At least that school was honorable.

It can take several days before your first flight due to TSA approval. In reference to the airplanes and the instructors, How would you know if you only flew for 4 hours? Maybe it is time to start to evaluate yourself before criticizing every one else.
