29. What Graduates are Saying “Since the moment I contacted CFA for the first time, Diana, Heather and Ash were right there to help me figure out the best way for me to become a pilot. At the school I was greeted always with a big smile. CFA has created for me an amazing flight learning experience, with a good study environment, with all the resources I needed, always with the advice that works best for me, and always with a smile.” – EtaiCharit, CFA Graduate “CFA was a great pilot training experience. Two months ago I passed my final release check ride and now I’m an Airbus 319 First Officer!” – Alberto Porras Lozano, CFA Graduate “At CFA, I received the best training and treatment, and the instructors are very efficient and experienced. I finished all my flight training from private pilot to multi-commercial in only 7 months, and they saved me a lot of money. Most importantly, they made me a great pilot. On top of all that, they made me feel I am part of a big family – the CFA family, which helped me a lot being far away from home for the first time in my life. CFA is the best place to be in U.S. for flight training and I recommend it to everyone who wants to be a great professional pilot and have a fun flight training experience.” – Jose Angel Pereida, CFA Graduate and First Officer, Volaris Airlines Mexico
