Easy turbo, I was an SP at the time. I had 0TT and it was before my first flight at the school (lesson 2). I wanted to give them over $50,000 of my money to train. I was the customer.
All I wound up doing there was achieving my Private. I worked in Marketing my last month at the school because I was bored and getting a plane/instructor was difficult. Then I went elsewhere.
I'm not talking about looking like grizzly adams, either. I hadn't shaved in 36 hours. To make me, the customer, go home and shave the slightest stubble off before my first flight at the school may have been a little overboard. I think it had something to do with the quick dawn masks in the PA28 not being able to seal properly if I recall. (comedic relief)
I thought we had these forums to share opinions and experiences, amongst other things. Most of the time they seem to just lead to a lot of bravado and people drunk off kool-aid.
All I was really trying to say in the first place was that they appear to be hiring more non-organic CFIs than in the past, it's a good school (I'm being serious), go for it...
