When I called them and asked them for a quote and to see their written
guarantee they avoid the question. Call any legitimate company that offers a
written guarantee they will let you see the guarantee or read it to you over
the phone. There has to be some sort of catch if they avoid the question or
there is actually no written guarantee. I am not going to travel to their
flight school if they cannot back up what they say on their web site with a
legal written document. They could fax me a copy of it e-mail me a copy of
it for my review they could post their guarantee on their web site. It is my
responsibility as a customer to do due diligence on anyone I deal with and I
was just sharing my experience about that company, they were very rude and
unprofessional!




From what I understood of the guarantee posted on their website
(http://www.guaranteedflighttraining.com/gft.htm), it appears that they need
to assess you in person before they can give an estimate of how long it will
take you to attain the certificate or rating.

It sounds like they recognize that everyone is different and it wouldn't be
practical to give a quote over the phone for something as personalized as
time to solo or pass the practical.

The "catch" that I noticed was that outside of the quoted time frame, you
won't pay for the instruction, meaning you will pay for Hobbs time.
