Only sim training at PAIFA

Hi there,

I've been flying in south america for a while and done sim training (initial and recurrent) at PAIFA at MIA and the only thing I can tell you is that facilities are ok. Instructors were provided by the company I worked for so no info about that.

Sorry I don't have any further info...:confused:

Thankyou for the reply. :ok:

The worst experience in training that I have ever had was through this outfit. I ran into several JAA students that were there trying to gain time and experience so they could go home and start a career. They had the same opinion as myself. The training was substandard, all the instructors I ran into were "has-beens" or people that could not make it in the real World.

AVoid this outfit unless you are just looking for a paper rating. I went back to MIA and went through Alteon's course for a few K more and it was twice as long as PAIFA. I left there with the confidence and knowledge to get a real job.

I could not recommend PAIFA to anyone that is serious about a career in this industry.

Do you remember how much you paid at Alteon or Pan AM? thanks
