OK. It's just that you mentioned how Silver State had a "pretty good" CTO program and I was curious what you were comparing it to.
I am glad that it looks like you are close enough to the end that this doesn't negatively impact you and I feel sorry for those who are harmed by it.
However, with all the CTI schools around the country that are long standing and/or provided by extremely reputable schools (ie Embry-Riddle, etc.) it is a wonder how people jumped right into a helicopter training company that decided to try to take a stab at this already antiquated (FAA is hiring off the street) controller training thing. To me it is like seeing an interesting car in a magazine that is made by a company that has never produced cars before and buying one in the first couple months before all the bugs get a chance to be worked out...ain't happening.
As I said, I am glad you made it to the finish line and look forward to possibly working with you in the future. Good Luck.
