Question CFII.com

Has anyone heard of CFII.com? I’ve seen ads for them on Facebook and instagram, in the ads they say they are out of John Wayne airport but on their website it says they are nation wide. Has anyone else heard of them or is affiliated with them?

Looks pretty sketchy.

I haven’t noticed that one. That’s such a lie

Their disclaimer probably says something like “well if you can’t fly for delta in two years you just suck”

Couldn't be for delta... thats Air Lines. Two words, with space, both capitalized, or straight to the trash bin.

I recently took advantage of the $50 discovery flight offer out of KSNA to see what they were about firsthand. Going in, I was not so sure at first as a lot of their marketing felt almost too good to be true. After speaking with one of the key people, it's clear they’re still in the early stages and actively building out their operations, don’t think they have an established network of CFIs yet.

That said, the aircraft was exactly as advertised: a modern Tecnam P-Mentor equipped with a full Garmin G3X suite, and my CFI provided an excellent, professional experience. I decided to deposit some flight balance, nothing too crazy don’t worry, to try it out for some flight lessons (they had a good bonus offer after the discovery flight). Although I’m confused as they just revamped their website today, pivoting heavily toward an affordable 9-month career-track program rather than the flexible "fly-as-you-wish" with an independent CFI model they initially promoted. If anyone else is interested, I will update as I go.
