Hmm interesting how you can’t use those scholarships, seems very unfair and puts a lot of people into very difficult situations. I believe one of my friends is following along the same path as you and getting his private license soon, although he’s much younger at the moment, I’ll forward him your website!
There are scholarships out there it’s just either you have to pay to be a member to a club to even be eligible to apply for them/ there’s just not the same volume that’s out there the same way that you can get one through a major university. Tell your friend I said good luck, and I’d love to hear his feedback on the whole ethos of TFG!
@@TakeFlightGarage Ah I suppose that makes more sense, perhaps is it because they don’t receive as much funding? I’ll let him know that! I’ll also see what he says. Good luck with your flying as well!
@@ireiaand it’s actually wild but my theory is that flight training just was never changed in how it was done dating back to the Second World War, and it just never progressed the same way other things happened to. Who knows! 🤷🏻♂️ You’re definitely right in that flight schools like 61 and 141 schools ultimately are just privately run businesses, so students are really seen as “customers” which is crazy. They’re literally called schools and students but it’s treated the same as people selling the information needed to fly. Imagine walking into a grocery store and buying a rating off the shelf 😂😂😂. It’s a wild concept!
@@TakeFlightGarage hmm I mean I guess that would make sense as planes sorta have the same basic function so you just need to teach it. Yea I guess much like private colleges that easily charge 90k+ for a years tuition, they do see students as customers and themselves as a business. So I suppose it’s just interesting to learn about the differences in how the schools operate but still teach the same things.
