For a while now, I've been considering attending Sierra Academy. From what I read and learned from this forum and other sites is that the only really bad thing about it is the money and the facilities. I really don't mind that, its just the quality I'm really going after. Is the quality of training good? I mean, not considering how old or ancient the planes and/or facilities are compared to others like FSI, just when it comes down to the curriculum and flying is all that matters to me. I read somehwere, and please if someone could clear this up, that while attending Sierra, they guarantee (i think) at least 1500 hours of flight time. I know it seems kind of unreal but its been a thought thats been begging to be answered.
Anyway, the only other school I've looked at is Embry Riddle but the downside is the amount of classes you're bogged down with and the limited flight time you get. I'm looking for a school that can help me get my Masters, though I'm not really certain at this point that I wish to pursue that, it would just be nice to have it as an option at the school wherever I attend. I know that whichever school/academy I choose to go to will cost an arm and a leg, so it doesn't really matter. I'd really appreciate it if any current Sierra student or grad or anyone else for that matter who could tell me more about this school. Thanks.
