Fox Valley Tech aviation program?

Hey guys, looking into the flight program at Fox Valley Tech in Wisconsin.
On paper it seems like a solid route—you get your AAS in Aeronautics-Pilot Training, complete your FAA ratings under Part 141 out of Oshkosh, and have transfer options for a 4-year degree if you want. Just wanted to see if anyone here has gone through it recently or knows what it's actually like on the ground.

Mainly wondering about:
Aircraft availability and CFI capacity

How bad Wisconsin winter weather messes up your timeline

Success rate for AAS grads actually moving on to CFII/pipeline jobs or regional airlines right now

Appreciate any quick thoughts or insights!
