CFI school VGT update.

CaptainChris87 · January 14th, 2007, 21:01

So the original 4 people who started on the Jan 2nd class are still here, one ACCP student jus finished his oral a few days ago, the other 2, one who did his add-on here and a riddle student are still waiting for their Initial MEI checkride. I ve been waiting for 5 days to find out when my initial will be. ON top of that people starting on the 15th all moved in and both apartments are full, people were expected to sleep on the couch at our place but ATP graciously gave them a hotel room to stay until people move out. so im here enjoying Vegas and studying for my CFI lucky for me spring sem at the local college does not start until Feb 28! and I have time to get my resume ready. but others already took extra time from work, and need to get done. I am currently on day 116, 5-10 people I know are over 90 days.

Wow seems like the program can last over 14 days. What do you recommend for people flying into Vegas? Should I get one way tickets each way since I won't know exactly when I leave?

Get ATP to fly you, and try to get a rental car from them, and oh yes it can last more than 14 days EASY.

It can also take less than 14 days. Really depends on your initial with the LAS FSDO. I did all of mine in 10 days.

I did mine in 10 days as well. ATP will only pay for your flight if you are an ACPP student.

777forever · January 18th, 2007, 11:54

Can I still get a rental car from them or do I have to be a Career Pilot? Since you have to be a career pilot to get a flight there should I only get a one way ticket then another one when Im done? I was thinking on going with Southwest. Does anyone know someone that flew to Vegas for the CFI program? I would really like a one way ticket to Jacksonville for new-hire training after Vegas

Get a 2 way southwest ticket in advance, almost all of SW's tickets are fully refundable. Cheaper.

Good luck with that. Application first then potentially answering phones for a while.
