Kris J., B-737 NG Type Rating Student

As I began to approach the 1500 hour mark last year, I began searching for schools to help me in obtaining my ATP MEL.  I called and researched roughly 15 schools across the country and none came close to the professionalism and reputation that K and S had to offer.  As a recent graduate of the K and S ATP CTP program as well as their ATP MEL and 737NG type rating curriculum, I am extremely happy that I chose them to be my training center.  From the owner of the company, all the way down, I have NEVER experienced such top class customer service from an organization.  From Mike Sturgis, the president of the company calling to check and make sure I was progressing and getting adequately prepared for training to Sophie Sturgis in sales ensuring I had everything I needed to succeed, I have been extremely impressed with the level of care shown from the company. My instructor for the ATP CTP portion, Dave Lilly, was an outstanding and experienced instructor who went above and beyond each day to make sure I was fully understanding the content.  My ATP and type rating instructor, Rick Kaye has literally been the best instructor I have ever had.  It is important that I point out that I am a roughly 1600 hour pilot who has never flown any aircraft over 12500 pounds, this was my first experience in heavy aircraft.  Rick, was excellent and not only taught me how to fly a 737, but also ensured that I understood the importance of every aspect of flying and being a professional in the 121 flying environment.  I am so glad that K and S was apart of this lifelong journey for me and I HIGHLY recommend them to ANYONE that is searching for an ATP CTP program or program leading to a type rating.  Not only did K and S welcome me into this new chapter of my life, but they prepared me for my future and I am forever grateful.
