The instructors here are very hit and miss. If you get a good one you're going to be ok. If you get…read morea bad one you may as well have flushed your money down the drain. You don't always have a choice of instructors if the workload is busy. The facility is very nice. WIFI is included in the price of your school tuition. They have a nice simulator for learning things like how to manage an engine failure before you practice in the planes. They have three rooms for studying and test taking. Even the FAA would approve of their facility. The only knocks are that the SIM needs to update GPS system. It makes learning today's approaches, departures impossible. Also, their multi-engine planes can be older. So on occasion you deal with a plane needing maintenance. The good thing is that they typically have enough planes so you can just hop in a different one for training.

This place used to be good. It is a total gamble with instructors. You will either get someone who…read morecares about your success or someone who is just there for time build. While this may be obvious, you would expect there to at least be a preflight, the flight and a nice debrief after. You would also expect a CFII to show up to a scheduled flight simulator to critique you and go over your weaknesses. There is practically no ground school whatsoever. I was given nothing besides a flight and a few notes online. No preflight whatsoever. This program is a lot more disorganized than it used to be at this location and many of the current students would agree. There have been various times when I had only flown 1 time in one month. Very few people can become proficient in an airplane and checkride ready while flying 1-3 times a month. I am not saying that all locations are bad... or even that the company is bad (there are a few people willing to help you and work with you). There is a new program (sounds promising) that is being put in place, but I highly doubt that it will be standardized within the next few months. If you want an instructor change, prepare for there to be a lot of questions, issues and "we can't do that for you, you must finish with your current instructor". Be careful if staying in student housing. There are "add-on's" coming in and out all of the time. I had several things stolen from me, which was unfortunate. Some of it was toiletry items and other were shirts/hats/food. On a tight budget, having food stolen is a huge deal. It is a quick program, so if you feel that you want to gamble and can get through with minimal help, than this is your program. I cannot recommend this current location and I would really take time to evaluate your options. I can say I made a lot of great friends, and met some really cool people despite everything. Again, this is the opinion of one student out of many.

It looks like you are supposed to go in the General Aviation terminal at RDU for FBO. However,…read moreSignature is actually located in a small building to the right of the main terminal. You can use the same parking and there are entrances at the front and side of the building, but I am hoping that I can help you from wandering around the main terminal for five minutes. Signature has the amenities you would expect from a FBO, but the lounge is a little small and tired. The general aviation terminal is a bit of a distance from the commercial terminal so be sure to leave time and get your directions right. Although it was under construction while I was there, the general aviation area has a cool observation deck if you have a little extra time to pass while waiting for your party to arrive.

I moved…read moreacross the country from Washington State to attend and do their accelerated professional pilot program. I loved it. The planes, the instructors and the people there make you feel like you're at home. Now, it is a lot of work... There's a reason you can get through your Instrument, Commercial Single and Multi as well as CFI, CFII and MEI. You have you to show up ready to work for it. No one is going to hand you a rating. The CFI course is intense, two weeks from day one to your checkride, but if you do exactly what you're asked to do, you'll do great in your ride. Will I recommend this program for everyone? No. I don't believe it is for everyone. If you're ready to work hard, you're self motivated and ready to get a job flying and making money in less than 6 months, Blue Line is the place for you. If you're considering ATP, you should have an idea what's expected--definitely check out Blue Line. You'll pay less and finish faster.

After I was there for a week and an half I opted to leave after talking to Ron about how I was so disappointed and felt unsafe, they then proceeded to take $46,000 of my $100,000 for opportunity cost... I asked why they thought that reason and Trey told me because I decided to leave due to the course being to fast... Which he then made sure no one would talk to me in the company and then took almost a year to get any refund back. lying is one thing and screwing me in the process sure is unacceptable but the real problem being that these folks are creating even worse students and instructors that compromise the integrity of the industry and taking advantage of people in the process is a more important problem and I hope someone stops them.
