I got some experience there I couldnt of gotten at the pat 61 FBO I taught at nor the collegiate 141 program I instructed for either.
I was instructing there at the same time..I waited 10 months to start working...there was very little movement and very little business at the time right after 9/11...the first year after I started working was very very slow..i.e. 1 or 2 students for most of the year. 2004 picked up quite a bit though.....

as for the pricing, call them up and instead of asking for the "track" just tell them you want to start from scratch and work through your instructor licenses (all of them...cfi, cfii, mei)..and they'll send you some new paperwork. The school is very devoted to this direct track crap, so they'll either confuse what you're saying if you say "track", or just try to push it on you...call 'em back and see what they say...
