That's precisely what I meant when I asked, if you didn't know how to fly,
would you rather go up with someone who went from start-to-finish in *10 days*
or in a couple of months?! Moreover, the people to ask how the majority of
10-day wonders compare with those whose training progresses over a period of
several weeks or months would be the DEs. Do these accelerated schools have a
specific DE on staff? or do they choose from the pool of DEs that the
traditional schools pick from? I'd like to hear from a DE that has tested
students coming from both re skill, knowledge/understanding, safety, and
confidence. How do the majority compare?
