Flight school with a short waitlist

Post by AirLuk »

Hey everyone,

I’ve been reaching out to various flight schools in Ontario, but every place I’ve found so far has a waitlist of over two months. I’ve also looked into schools outside the province (like Harv’s), but haven’t had any luck there either.

Does anyone know of a reputable flight school that currently has a waitlist of less than a month?

Any leads or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I did have a look at Brantford, but I've actually started to look at out of province options where I can get more flying days in a year than Ontario.

Many schools have a wait till you can start training, it was nearly a 2 year wait at some schools in 2019!

Why wait? Are the schools short of flight instructors or planes ?

All of the above! The instructors have too many students to give meaningful time to each student, hence the waitlists
