I have time because most of my work is right here at this computer. I take a 15 minute break here and there to check on the forums I participate in. This is by far the most active!

I checked out that eagle site. Very interesting. Let's look closely though. I will pick on the king air 90 program. You pay $9900 and you get 100 hrs of C90. $99/hr sounds great doesn't it? But read the fine print ... Yes you get airline training, but it looks like most of your time is going to be as an FO on charter flights. I wonder how much charter flying they do. If there are 50 FOs who gets to fly first? How long do you have to wait to build up that 100 hrs?

Might be good, or it might not. Like all these schools, it bears a second look. Remember, lots of companies make promises that are a little misleading. You have to expect this when essentially paying to be in a spot that you should be paid for.

Let me know what you find out and eventually decide. I'm sure everyone here will be interested in your findings!
