Ive been looking at many flight schools around the US and am leaning towards Langa Air. Does anybody have experience with Langa Air or know anybody currently in Langa Air?

I dont know anyone there but I am considering going there myself.  I have visited the school and took the Flight Discovery and really like the setup there.  They have the convience of having their own airport basically.  The thing that is drawing me towards them is the fact that they have that affiliation with GoJet airlines which is headquarted in St. Louis.  That is great because I want have to move or anything. You train there and fly out of there.  I want to fly a jet like a 747, 777, etc., but at 37 years old I really dont know if it is worth investing a lot of money to get a bacheliors degree in aviation. 

As of now, GoJet only requires an associates and a certain amount of flight hours.  Also, since I have been wise enought when I was younger, I have an applied associates degree in Business Administration from SWIC in Belleville, IL.  Now according to Langa Air, I wont even have to step in the college because I already have my general studies done. 

GoJet only uses the CRJ700 but at least it is a jet and I would like that. Also, they are a growing company with more jets on the way.  So hopefully, with the affiliation Langa Air has with them, I will be considered in the process.

Anyways, I would recommend them.  If you live in this area, and want to fly a jet, I think this would be a great start.....

There are some messages about them at Jetcareers (http://"http://forums.jetcareers.com") & Flightinfo (http://"http://forums.flightinfo.com") that you can read over but most seem to think they are OK. Only one negative comment about their 'rising prices and training contracts'....
