I'd go along with the suggestion of doing an initial instrument rating elsewhere. The operators are not instructors, they are "owners" who continue to have instructors leave them quickly. The toxic atmosphere may not be visible from a student's perspective. There are plenty of their former instructo...

Above Gary Filmon, there is Mike Pyle is the CEO of EIC who the press releases claim is famous for "creative acquisitions".
