Flight school took me about an hour to do, because I had to redo a few lessons because I kept accidently trying to use the old controls, instead of the new ones. I hadn't reloaded before that either. I did all of Tierra Robada missions. Honestly, I expected to fail badly and give up. I didn't get any mission freezings or anything. (Honestly, I was too stoked at actually completing the lessons for the first time to stop to save/reload.) The worst was certainly the Cut Throat Business one. I don't think you have a defective game or anything. Just the remastered game can't handle extensive gameplay in one sitting. All GTA games have something like that. I get the odd glitched out mission even on GTAV. In fact, it happened last night. I was playing the smart approach to Vangelicos Heist, I got Franklin to throw the tear gas into the vent. The game froze, and it continued playing the dialogue of the following cutscene. Sometimes, during the Paleto Bay Heist, the graphics crackle like crazy. I always save/reload just before that mission. The GTA:SA remaster is just more obvious about it.

If you do loan the game to your friend, just give him the advice about reloading to stop the freezing. I completed the game in a few days, and was playing it more or less all day. The freezing took nothing from my enjoyment. Once you know how to deal with it, the little glitch is easy to handle.
