Corporate Advocacy Program™
Do yourself a favor, If you are new to the game and looking for a school, look at the little mom & pop FBOs and freelance flight instructors.
Shop around, talk to their students, talk to the old timers hanging around the airport. But above all, don't make the same mistake I did and blindly go to a school like this!

This school is not for "kids" who think becoming a pilot is a an easier option than going to college. I studied harder at Westwind than I ever did in my undergraduate studies. It takes committment and focus to maintain the pace of this program. If you want to party, go to college and party for four or five years. If you are ready to be an adult and work, then Westwind can be a great place to jumpstart your career. You get what you put into it!
This school has excellent equipment, excellent maintenance, vast resources, and people who are committed to maintaining the highest levels of safety and proficiency.

WestWind flys very uptodate aircraft at a competetive price. Instructors are Instructors!!! The buyer beware! You will find good and bad no matter where you go in aviation. I have found no such costs of 12 to 14k for a pvt as the other person mentioned. Two of my recent HS students finished well under the 4k mark. I wish the person who wrote the original comment good luck in finding another flight school to work with. And when they do please let me know so I can tell you all the horror stories about your new school.
