Hey fellas,

I'm going to be moving to PHX in May, I'm looking to restart my training from PPL-CFII and more. Anyone have any recommendations on the schools/FBOS in that area. I submitted an financial aid app for SLM through Westwind, but I won't know the results until 1/26. If I don't qualify, I'm just going to have to do the 61 route and use whats left from G.I Bill after paying tuition to ERAU. I've taken some advice from some of you who recommended that I work for "The Man" for a bit to pay out-of-pocket and ow nothing for training. I'm currently working as a dispatcher, but I'm not going to make enough to pay the bills and pay for training if I don't get the loan approved from Sallie Mae. So I'm looking for a non-airline job in the area (i.e. Financial Services Advisor). I'm hoping not to get too comfortable with a higher paycheck due to the ridiculous
starting wages for regionals. My wife is looking to get into Nursing school as well so she can be my sugar mama until regional pay gets better as time goes on. Anyways, any info would be great and do tell any experiences at Westwind if you went there.

P.S. I haven't seen any info on Westwind in other threads, but anyone knows one do tell. Thanks
