So I'm in a difficult situation. I'm trying to finish my single engine commercial pilots license. The first flight school I was at, all the instructors went to airlines and only left one who was grumpy, and rude to me. I went to another school at a different airport and flew 4 flights but found the aircraft very difficult to maneuver because of its poor condition and loose control cables. I also was not being treated properly by certain people in the office who were once again very rude to me. So I'm trying to go back to the original flight school who now has an instructor that can finish me up, but his schedule is very busy as he flies corporate. I've called, left messages, and no response from the instructor. The school doesn't seem to have any motivation to keep me as a customer nor do I feel like a valued customer which is why I left in the first place...
I've blown $2,500 at mom and pop schools on instruction and training in a complex aircraft, got the 250 hours, PPL-IR and no multi time whatsoever, but don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I've either dealt with broken planes or had a hard time finding an instructor that can treat me like a human. I'm in urgent need to hurry up and finish my training so I can start instructing ASAP as money is running out.
I'm hoping to finish my commercial license within the next 30 days at this mom and pop flight school, and then go to American Flyers to complete the 30 day CFI/II program. That would have me done by the middle of November and then I'd go to Dallas to get my multi add on. In the mean time I've been studying for the FII, FOI, and FIA. Took the FII yesterday and got a 98% and I'm taking the FOI next Monday.
That's my current situation/plan. I'm a bit fed up and frustrated as you can tell at this point and almost considering just blowing every last dollar I have to go to ATP. Mom and pop schools don't seem to need customers nor have I seen them treat their customers with respect, I feel like giving up on them and never recommending that route to anyone who is doing training.
Should I just go to ATP? I realize I'd have to take an additional check ride since I don't have my multi.
Sorry for the rant. Thanks for the advice.
