Damn kev, you've been spotted, lol. Someone else who replied to this thread has a lot more info about what happened. I heard that the school file bk when it moved from POC to CNO. I guess he finally threw in the towel. It sucks for all of the students and instructors that are now on the street.
THe school was a great place for Socal typed to get quick and cheap ratings, but the owner was always shaving off money when it came to MX. HE was also real cheap on the paychecks. Definaltely the lowest paying job in SoCal, and probably around the country. The only perk working there was the other cool instructors, and the fact that a lot of us were pulling almost 100 hr months, with a ton of multi-time. The school has been around for quite a while, and there are a lot of former instructors still roaming the boards. Good luck to those who got screwed again by Ari.
But as far as the owner went I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire!
