I called up Ari Ben and talked to the phone sales rep and he kind of skirted some questions I had and that made me uncomfortable asking him some others, so hopefully some of you guys know the answers to these:
-- How many students are currently enrolled in Ari Ben's career pilot program?
-- How many instructors are there? (3:1 ratio??)
-- Are their career program graduates 'guaranteed' an opportunity to instruct? Or is this like a 'guaranteed' interview to instruct? Basically, if you go through their program and do reasonably well, are you guaranteed to have a CFI position when you're done?
-- How old is their program/school?
-- As per their policy, if I take out a loan, will they keep the entire balance? Since their payment policy is a third at a time, will they only keep that portion and forward the rest to me? How does that work?
-- Since theyre both part 141 and part 61, is their professional pilot program 141 or 61? Is there any ground school at all (besides instrument I think)?
-- Also do they use sims at all there? I know they advertise themselves as aviators not simulators, but do they at least have a sim on location to use for practice purposes? Do they charge extra for its use? I know ATP has unlimited sim time.
Sorry for the barage of questions. Thanks in advance for any and all info.
