Stay well away

The only reason this place takes domestics is to get the 3K enrollment fee from them. If you are an overseas student but self funding (not an airline cadet), you get hit with a 15k enrollment fee...

Thanks for the response.

Just to make one thing clear. It put the real job headline to get people to read it. If it was looking like another up north thread I thought no one would bother.

Many people have left good paying desk jobs to go and fly but did they do it in the face of the biggest stock market dive since the Great Depression? I think not. I cant see how being in an industry...

And they charge virtually the same for a ticket than everyone else does?
