You can become acredited by writing a check and that's what they did, IMO.

Don't blame you. I can't believe they had people that moved from out of state to work there. The funny thing is that the owners tried to make me thing that CFI gigs were far and few between and they got hundreds of resumes, and this was right at the beginning of the hiring boom for airlines.

I think the main reason they are in business is because they can put on a good show for a new customer. They also get all the new local customers because all the airport signs lead to Akron Flight and none lead to my part of the field. Unfortunately, new people to aviation usually visit one flight school and then stay there because they don't know any better.
