How would you rate the career pilot program?

Two things that stick out for me are the increased cost versus the old program (about $10,000) and the lack of multi time. To get your private-instrument-commercial-cfi-cfii-mei will run $44,000.

White Air is actually looking like quite a bargain now, considering you get all of the above ratings, with 280 hours of flight time, 125 of which is multi (and none of it is safety pilot time), and 6 months of housing for $46,000.

How would you rate Skymates new program compared to those of other FBOs or academies?

Flight training is about your instructor, the airplane, and your ability to learn and have fun. Every school out here can piece together a great professional program without a doubt. For me, I based my decision on the great staff, instructors, fleet, and maintenance at SkyMates. My experience here is phenomenal!
