When was the Inflight Institute founded?

The Inflight Institute was founded in 1999 by Mr. I. Noel. His vision was to allow potential Flight Attendants a chance to experience a ?virtual? airline ground school to see if they were suited for the career. He noticed that a significant percentage of students within airlines ground schools were not succeeding. This was due to a lack of preparation and knowledge before entering ground school. Since then hundreds of students have succeeded with the help of the Inflight Institute.
