Hi everyone,

I am thinking of changing careers from a chemist to a pilot and right now I am checking out flight schools. Does anyone know anything about Langa Air Academy? They guarantee a paying job with them for one year as a CFI and estimate that I would have over 1200 hours flight time by the end of their program (including the job). Do they have a good reputation? Has anyone heard of anyone else being screwed or misled by them? I'm concerned that the instructors may not be very good if they only have ~335 hours flight time (what each student earns by the end of first year). Any info that's not from Langa Air themselves would be a big help. Thanks!
