Flight School Sucks

Today was a bad day for flight school and I just need to vent a little bit. I love that Jeremy is able to fly. It is his dream and always has been. It's just so annoying when we get a form from the school with the curriculum and cost from an adviser BEFORE we started the program and then when we are in the middle of it the raise the cost per hour $50 bucks and hour! $50 bucks! For 40 hrs of flight thats an extra $2,000 bucks! YIKES! And this is just the beginning. We thought his instrument rating was only going to be 20 hrs because it what they told us in the hours breakdown and cost on the papers they gave us. Not the case, it is going to be 40 hrs. An extra 2-4000! Yikes. I don't even know what to do. We have been so stressed and upset all day. This is Jeremy's dream. This is going to our livelihood. This royally sucks! We are going forward with the program but are looking to moving back to Columbus for the finishing of it in about a year. Columbus is about 1,200 cheaper each certificate. We have 6 left. We are going to investigate it a little more before the final decision. It would still be about a year away. I just feel so overwhelmed. *sighs* At least if we are in GA we are with family and family is VERY important. Well see I guess.

SAD!!! I really hate that schools can jack up prices out of nowhere and even if you're already enrolled in the program you have to pay the difference, it makes no sense!

Yikes! At least that's one more good reason to move to GA... Trying to look at the positive =).
