Flew from this facility for about 8 weeks. In that period of time aircraft were not available despite being scheduled three separate times. That doesnt mean the aircraft werent actually there, it just means that because of their financial situation the office cant be staffed regularly and the office manager forgot to leave the aircraft flight bag at the FBO -- three times. the chief flight isntructor called it ""an honest mistake."" apparently you can make three honest mistakes in a short time period. Nice work if you can get it. anyway, i was just about to start IFR training when two of the isntructors told me that i would be better off going elsewhere because they routinely didnt get paychecks on time. What bigger red flag do you need than that? So, that being said, if you are going to drop close to $10,000 on a SEL or IFR rating you might want to think about doing it somewhere more stable. dont make the mistake i did and blow a lot of money there before you realize it's a bad scene.
