Actually Ashton, YOUR quote is the average!!! At my last job, and we knocked them out QUICK, the average was more like 45-50!!!! But the upper end was about 65-70. They just don't deal well with machinery like we do... difference of culture. My BEST student, and his dad was a fighter pilot, and this kid was the best one of them, soloed in 35 hours. BUT, the solo is the hardest... they still get their AMEL in 250. Once past the solo, it goes fast. They just have to get the first part.

On to work...
