How to interview the schools?

I am going to Florida on Sunday to visit a few Flight schools.
Orlando, Naples and Comair.

Now I think I have every angle covered but if you think I should be asking a certain question, no matter how stupid please post it up.

I will post all answers when I get back, within reason

Cheers

a couple of questions to ask.....

What about insurance, what are the terms?

Did you see the aircraft's logbooks?

Will the training curriculum direct you to the job you want?

If affiliated with an airline, does that mean a guaranteed job with that airline, or just an interview?

Is there an affordable place to live at the school or near it?

Is it FAR Part 141 school?

Is there a decent facility to house the school?

Do the instructors seem interested when spoken to?

Do the personal answer questions freely?

Are the aircraft recent models?

What is the pass/fail ratio and how did the school come to those figures?

Were you allowed to speak with current students as well as graduates?

Are there any complaints lodged against the school?

What condition are the aircraft in?

Does the school have simulators?

How old are the simulators?

How long has the school been in business at its present location?

How much will the training cost be UP FRONT? (very important!!!)

Do you pay all the money up front or installments?

What is its policy shout changing instructors if you don't click with the one assigned to you?

What is in the school's training contract or agreement?

.....hope this helps!!!
