I agree that in order to market successfully in this day and age you must have a professional looking website.

Wouldn't take but a few hundred dollars to put up something really nice looking that you would still be able to update quickly as the industry evolves.

These posts aren't negative. They're honest. For better or for worse the internet is where most people will begin their search for a flight school. Having a site with grammar or spelling errors gives the impression that the same attention to detail may extend to your curriculum, your maintenance, etc.

What a way to welcome a new advertiser.

My point is that he should have sent them a private message in a nice tactful way , not correct them for the whole net to see.

I don't think , well I know , its not proper , ethical or approipate for a 23 year old 172 Captain to correct a retired ex military F 16 instructor for the whole net to see. I'm sure they have some one in charge of the web site whom wuold have corrected the mistakes ASAP in house.

Now my I spell is not working !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My father once told me to be careful of what you say because it might come back to bite you someday. I think the website does offer a lot of substance. After all, a wise student should visit the "campus" or "flight school" first before they make a decision. Think back to when you first made a decision about the car you drive. Did not you consult with a friend of yours first or someone you knew who drives the same model? Marketing to students occurs in a variety of forms - word of mouth, direct marketing, internet, etc. Their strength might be word of mouth marketing or what I sometimes call "good 'ol boy marketing". No matter how flashy a website may look, a visit to the flight school will always have more stubstance and/or a friend's recommendation. I don't dispute the grammer errors, etc. all I am trying to say is that anyone who is ready to spend +$5K for flight training at Accessible Aviation, ATP, SkyMates, FSA, etc will choose to visit the schools first. If it sounds too good to be true, call them, schedule a time, and visit. It is that simple!

Gentlemen,

breathe in, breathe out........

If you have a comment about the advertisers website you should feel free to say so in a professional manner.

If you have an off the cuff remark about what user 'x' said, let me remind you of the PM function. Nobody really cares if two people can't seem to get along.

Why do you feel you have to continue to belittle who I am?

Take it outside, folks, this isn't cage fighting and 99.9% of the rest of us don't care that you two can't get along on a personal level.

Again if you have a sincere question, comment, or concern about the website or thread topic feel free to post. This thread was to show the requested pictures and not have a pissing contest.
