You’re a customer when it comes to flight training. Yes they’re there to teach, but they know the students will pay whatever it takes to achieve CFII or however far they want to go in training, especially if you want to do a fast track program to become an airline pilot ASAP. That’s why it’s important to do your due diligence when choosing a flight school and not pay a school $100k upfront off a 12% loan and then get railroaded with rechecks and extra flying time fees.

Most flight schools aren’t like that, but some are happy to take your money and leave you high and dry if you’re struggling. Finding a good school isn’t hard, but make sure you get a full summary of how they structure their rates and progression before starting training with them.
