    Downtown St. Petersburg, Old South East

    I am a full-time executive woman who just randomly decided to take a side quest and get my PPL. My…read moreCFI, Joey Corrado, helped me to get certified in November of last year. His style of training works for me and he seemed to always know when to be choose to be conservative and when to take a risk based on my training and experience. We are now working towards my IFR. St Pete Air has become a home away from home for me. Great community of aviation enthusiasts.

    I'm writing this comprehensive review of my year-long PPL training at St. Pete Air to hopefully…read moresave others the frustration, stress, and financial loss I experienced. While working full-time and part-time jobs to fund my dream of flying, I chose St. Pete Air for its cost-effective reputation. Unfortunately, that low cost came with an unacceptable price: a culture of disrespect, dishonesty, and poor leadership that I believe compromises both safety and learning. Chase Brooker - Unprofessional and Unsafe Training Environment: My training began with instructor Chase Brooker, who fostered a "tough guy" persona that translated into a deeply unprofessional and demeaning environment. He would mock mistakes and use verbal insults, including calling me a "queer" for grabbing the yoke with two hands. This hostile commentary makes learning not only unnecessarily stressful but fundamentally unsafe. The breaking point came over a scheduling issue. After 12 consecutive lessons without any cancellations, I had a work emergency and called Chase several hours before our scheduled lesson to cancel--something we had previously discussed as an occasional possibility due to my work commitments. He said it was "no problem," then charged me for two hours of instructor time. When I called to dispute this charge, Chase became confrontational, telling me--and I quote--"you make more money than me and someone has to pay my bills and it might as well be you." He then attempted to "negotiate" down to 45 minutes, treating what should have been professional billing like a shakedown. Management Failure - Danielle Broussard: When I escalated this to management, the response was appalling. Director of Operations Danielle Broussard sided with the instructor, emailing to inform me I was temporarily barred from training with other instructors until they "figured out how to handle the issue." There was no apology, no accountability for the instructor's behavior--just a penalty for speaking up. I was still charged for an hour I never flew. This represents a complete failure of leadership and customer service standards. Financial Dishonesty Continues - Instructor Jack: My second instructor, Jack, was knowledgeable and respectful but continued the pattern of billing irregularities. I personally witnessed him alter a receipt after the fact, physically changing "2.0 hours" to "2.5 hours" after returning from the restroom. On another occasion, when weather forced a flight lesson to become ground instruction, he charged me for two full hours of what amounted to personal war stories with no educational content whatsoever. These practices constitute theft--there's no other way to describe altering receipts and charging for services not rendered. The Exception - Stewart Brackett: The single bright spot in my entire year was instructor Stewart Brackett, who demonstrated the professionalism, respect, and teaching ability that should be standard. He represents what a CFI should be and proves the school could maintain higher standards if management chose to enforce them. Systemic Problems: My experience reveals systemic issues at St. Pete Air. The culture among many young instructors is immature and unprofessional, while management's failure to address serious complaints shows fundamental disrespect for customers. The billing irregularities I witnessed suggest either inadequate oversight or willful ignorance of unethical practices. Final Recommendation: While St. Pete Air offers competitive rental rates for licensed pilots, I strongly advise against using them for training. The financial dishonesty, unprofessional instruction methods, and management's failure to maintain standards make this an unacceptable choice for anyone investing in their aviation education. I completely regret choosing St. Pete Air for my training. I was disrespected, overcharged, and subjected to what I believe were unsafe training conditions. Please take your training investment to a school that values your business, your safety, and maintains basic professional standards.
