Wow

A lot has happened since I last wrote. After finishing ground school in March and making a 90 on my written, I was ready to start flying. So I thought. My flight instructor and I scheduled for Saturday morning. Well, He calls at 9 o'clock Friday saying the plane was in for maintenance, and we would go up next Saturday. OK sounds like a plan. Well next Friday evening, he calls again, and proceeds to tell me of a buddy of his that died in Louisiana, and he was flying out Saturday for the funeral. OK, things are not going as they should here, folks. I get up Saturday and decide to drive by his house. He is outside, working in the yard!!! Rather than stop and kill him, right then and there, I go ahead and go to another (the only other flight school) and talk to the head CFI. He tells me to be out next Saturday morning for my intro flight and hands me a school application. In the meantime, I decide to do some digging on my old CFI. It turns out, he isn't even a CFI!!! He is only a ground instructor!!! I was told, during this time of his senior CFI, who turned out to be a completely fictitious person(I'm getting madder, the farther I read)
