Spartan - Tulsa, Ok
Hey all, Just a lurker coming out of my dark hole to call out all the Spartan grads. Anybody got any input on this school? I will be attending this summer after I get out of the Marine Corps and couldn't find too much info on this site. I chose Spartan because of it's location, the fact that the government will be footing most of the bill, and the good reputation that I gathered from many pilots I know.
Just curious if anybody had .02 that they'd like to throw in. Thanks!
P.S - This forum is a great wealth of information. Thanks to all you frequent posters on the informative and interesting posts/discussions!

Spartan is a ripoff. I know this first hand. Go to a real school and get a non-aviation degree and fly at a local FBO. You will save money and get a real education.
Sorry to burst your bubble.

While I had a great instructor, the school's management (including the chief CFI at the time) was quite poor. The promises they made were not kept regarding placement status (I was a private pilot), it cost more than they advertised, the facilities were a joke, and the general education classes were all the way across town at the other campus. Housing assistance was poor. I could go on and on. I left for a FBO and don't regret it one bit.

I don't think they're still in the trailers. From what I've gathered the school has changed a lot over the past two to five years. They don't have a lot of twins. I've seen a handful of them and I know they got some new ones in 2005.
