Delta Connection Academy Is a RIP OFF.. I am a student of DCA. I just
Graduated from that school. My advise to any body who plans to go there is: DON'T GO They will take every dime from your account as they want. I Know many people who ent there, pass all the check rides, fAA and didn't get hire by them. Now you end up with a 85K loan to pay. If they hire, you have to way 6 to 8 months for standarization class. Imajine you wauting 6-8 months to become an instructor. Waht are you going to do while you wait. You have to pay hours of flying from you own pocket. I addition, if you pass all te exams and the flight test, you get the job. They pay you 10$ and hour and you fly 20 hours a week. MY Question is? Can you live, with $700 a month, pay your student loan amd rent. When you go there for the tour, they don't tell you all these things. I glad that I have all my ratings quick. But what price are you willing to pay from Privet to CFI $75, 85$, $100. My instructor from DCA was not hire by any commuter of them, that is bad, now he went to his local town to flip burgers and fly the week-ends in a local FBO. They promise too many things but they just give you Nothing. Be careful. Don't waste your money or time. |

Maybe they didn't hire you because you can't write at a high school level.

Actually, I've a theory that the recent spate of illiterate postings represent some coordinated trolling. I've zero evidence for this, but some of the postings that have fallen into this category have just *begged* for outraged - or at least concerned - responses. You know the type: Me be pilot now. Me wanna buzz friend's house. What best place to rent for shortest checkout? or such. Or perhaps it's just that I'm still sufficiently new at this that I've trouble believing in pilots being so illiterate. - Andrew |

that I've trouble believing in pilots being so illiterate. One thing I've noticed, in my 5 years of hanging around this group: The people who bitch the loudest about not being hired seem to share the curse of illiteracy. It's truly sad, and speaks volumes about our schools and our society. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I also find that those same people think that they "deserve" a job or rather
a "position" & and a title, with a huge salary and lots of benefits, and that depending on their politics either corporate America or the US Government "owe" them one or both, but in no way are they under qualified, under experienced, illiterate, or have a bad attitude... yeah right. -- Jim Burns III Remove "nospam" to reply "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:FjmJb.44255$xX.164714@attbi_s02... or such.
