TESTIMONIALS

– Alex Wood, now flying for major Canadian airline with maple leaf on tail!

“When calling the flight schools at CZBB the friendliest people to answer the phone were Pat and Clark. The large number of aircraft at PFC meant that there was lots of availability when booking my lessons or renting an aircraft. The skill set I’ve developed at PFC has helped me progress at first to a regional airline as a first officer and now to a major airline as a first officer.”

– Tim Kingston, Captain B-737 NG WestJet Airlines

“Today’s airlines are demanding the very best from the pilots they hire, in terms of both raw flying ability and interpersonal skill sets. Pacific Flying Club offers the precise type of training the pilots of today and tomorrow need to be successful in this great industry. Pacific Flying Club gave me the start I needed to be successful as an airline Captain and can do the same for you.”

– Nigel Schatz, Pilot – North Wright Airways

“I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for the support team at PFC. It was the instructors at PFC that really made the experience though. Being that most of them had recently been through the training program themselves, they were very easy to relate to. On top of that they were very knowledgeable, and it felt like they genuinely cared about my learning.”
